We are pleased to announce the general availability of Red Hat Developer Hub (RHDH) 1.6. This release has been created on a very short cycle as we adjusted our cadence to better match events and situations coming up over the remainder of the year. Therefore, the update is very limited in scope. Don’t worry though, we’ll be back to the usual quarterly release for the next version of RHDH.
What is Red Hat Developer Hub?
Red Hat Developer Hub serves as an enterprise platform designed to optimize the developer experience. Leveraging Backstage, an open source project under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), Developer Hub provides a bespoke, unified environment where developers can access important tools, resources, and documentation for efficient application development and deployment.
RHDH offers support across Red Hat OpenShift, AWS EKS, Azure AKS, and Google GKE and integrates with a wide range of DevOps tools, including GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Jenkins, and PagerDuty. This broad information hub facilitates greater collaboration and enables self-service actions that keep developers productive throughout their working day (and night).
