Developer Portal
Give Your Developers a Front Door to Your Platform
The Problem
You have a platform but nobody uses it. Developers cannot find services, documentation is scattered across wikis and Slack threads, and there is no single place to understand what your organisation builds and owns. You do not need a new platform — you need an interface that makes your existing platform discoverable and adoptable.
When your platform exists but nobody uses it, the problem is not the platform — it is the interface. Developers cannot adopt what they cannot find. A developer portal gives your organisation a single front door to services, documentation, scaffolding templates, and operational visibility.
FikaWorks deploys and customises Backstage-based developer portals that become the most-visited internal tool in your organisation. We do not just install software — we design the catalogue structure, integrate your existing toolchain, build the plugins that matter for your workflows, and run the adoption programme that gets developers using it.
When you need more than a portal: If your organisation needs the full Internal Developer Platform — golden paths, self-service provisioning, infrastructure automation — see our Platform Engineering solution. The portal is one layer of a complete IDP.
What We Deliver
Backstage deployment and customisation — or evaluation of alternatives suited to your stack
Service catalogue setup — every service registered, owned, and scored
TechDocs integration — documentation that lives next to the code and stays current
Plugin ecosystem design — scaffolding templates, CI/CD visibility, cost dashboards, security scorecards
Adoption strategy — rollout plan, developer onboarding, feedback loops, and success metrics
Portal maintenance model — who owns it, how plugins are governed, and how it evolves
How We're Different
A portal without adoption is an empty catalogue. We have deployed developer portals for organisations where the portal became the most-visited internal tool within three months — because we design for developer habits, not infrastructure ideals. We pair portal deployment with adoption strategy from day one.
Typical Outcomes
A single pane of glass for every service, owner, and piece of documentation in your organisation
Developers who can find, understand, and scaffold new services in minutes instead of days
Measurable increase in platform adoption and developer satisfaction scores
A portal your team can maintain and extend after we leave
How We Deliver This
Discovery Workshop
Audit your current developer experience and scope the portal implementation.
Go-Live Enablement
Roll out the portal to teams with structured onboarding and support.
Training & Enablement
Hands-on, practitioner-led workshops can be added to any engagement — Kubernetes, platform engineering, AI agents, and more.
