Stackspot
Is a platform created by Zup and Itaú Unibanco that empowers technology teams to operate with speed and security. In addition, it increases team efficiency by centralizing software engineering standards, automating processes, improving the development journey, and enabling application deployment with greater autonomy for developers.
The numbers demonstrate its impact on the development journey: during testing phases, we found that StackSpot accelerated delivery cycles by up to 10x, and that a new team member could deploy code to production in just one day.
Let’s explore how this platform works in practice, its main advantages, and how you can access it.

What is a development platform?
According to Gartner, within three years, 80% of software engineering organizations will invest in platform teams and platform engineering strategies. Expectations are so high that platform engineering is among the top 10 technology trends of 2023.
But what is platform engineering?
“Platform engineering improves the productivity and experience of developers by providing self-service capabilities with automated infrastructure operations. It is a growing trend due to its promise of optimizing developer experience and accelerating value delivery to customers by product teams.”
Given the increasing complexity of software environments, there is a need to modernize and support digital transformation initiatives. Development platforms emerge as a solution by providing tools and resources that enable faster, higher-quality deliveries.
What is StackSpot?
StackSpot is an Enterprise Developer Platform (EDP)—a platform designed for enterprise development with a focus on organization, standardization, acceleration, and scalability within technology teams.
It is important to highlight that governance is centralized and adoption standards are well defined, enabling the creation of contextualized work environments that prevent team rework.
In essence, StackSpot allows developers to create and distribute reusable technology components—both for applications and infrastructure.
Within the platform, professionals build their projects in a workspace with pre-configured settings, including predefined architecture and security standards.
Additionally, the platform includes its own Runtime Engine and offers Cloud provisioning services. These capabilities abstract infrastructure complexity, allowing developers to focus their efforts on building and delivering applications that generate value for both customers and the business.

core areas
They're designed to organize your workflow and empower your team with autonomy and efficiency.

StackSpot Cloud Services
StackSpot Cloud Services is a highly reliable cloud computing platform with a robust ecosystem for deploying and running applications at low cost, while maintaining high standards of quality and security.
In StackSpot, the developer experience is centered around infrastructure and application Stacks and Plugins, providing autonomy, reducing cognitive load, and increasing delivery speed—always prioritizing security, scalability, quality, resilience, and cost efficiency.



How StackSpot works
In practice, team members can easily and securely reuse components created by their colleagues through a proprietary framework that packages and distributes technology components.
Content within the platform is organized in a standardized way, categorized by programming languages, team structures, technological disciplines, and more.
Some of the opportunities enabled by StackSpot include:
• Organizing technologies, teams, and work environments efficiently
• Accelerating developer onboarding
• Improving decision-making through usage data of technological components
• Accessing detailed analytics on technology usage, including deployments and shared infrastructure insights
• Increasing efficiency through cloud management services with dashboards, reports, and recommendations
• Accessing a centralized API catalog used across the organization
• Enabling flexible SSO integration for a secure and seamless authentication experience
StackSpot also provides full access control management through customizable roles and permissions, ensuring security aligned with company needs.

Advantages of StackSpot
As you can see, StackSpot offers several benefits for both companies and developers:
Higher quality
A contextualized workspace with predefined and centralized configurations ensures high-quality and secure architecture execution.
Better time management
With standardized and centralized components, it becomes easier to track usage, reducing rework and delays.
Simpler and more efficient cloud
StackSpot Cloud Services simplifies the cloud journey, offering faster setup and best practices for more resilient, secure, and cost-effective processes—including FinOps recommendations.
Greater efficiency
By reusing technological components, teams reduce cognitive load and can focus on developing and evolving business rules with quality and scalability.
StackSpot’s impact on companies
StackSpot stands out as an essential tool for organizations seeking excellence in software development. Here are some real-world perspectives:
Our test automation coverage—across integration, functional, and system tests—was quite low, and we needed to improve it. We approached this by using StackSpot as a project starter, through templates.
