From Click To Chaos: Linking Argo Workflows and Backstage for Automated Testing

This conference talk explores how Neo4j integrated Spotify's Backstage with Argo Workflows to enable automated testing through a simple interface. Discover the journey of connecting Backstage actions to automated workflows, allowing engineers to trigger complex testing environments directly from an internal developer portal with just a single click. Learn about the technical challenges faced, solutions implemented, and how this integration transformed testing processes by streamlining integration tests and introducing Chaos Engineering practices to strengthen Kubernetes environments. The presentation demonstrates how to convert a simple portal click into powerful Kubernetes events for both integration and chaos testing scenarios.
