Zalando Adopts Backstage To Power Sunrise
On April 5, 2026, Zalando outlined its Sunrise developer portal, built on Spotify's Backstage since 2021, as the company-wide starting point for engineers. The platform integrates 27 tools via 30 front-end plugins, syncs over 40,000 entities daily, and adds personalization, CI/CD views and analytics to boost adoption. Zalando reports improved interoperability, contributor workflows and some contributions back to the open-source Backstage ecosystem.
