Backstage⁠

What is Backstage?

Backstage⁠ is an open platform for building developer portals. Powered by a centralized service catalog, Backstage restores order to your microservices and infrastructure. So your product teams can ship high-quality code quickly — without compromising autonomy.

Backstage unifies all your infrastructure tooling, services, and documentation to create a streamlined development environment from end to end.

Out of the box, Backstage includes:

• Backstage Service Catalog⁠ for managing all your software (microservices, libraries, data pipelines, websites, ML models, etc.)
• Backstage Software Templates⁠ for quickly spinning up new projects and standardizing your tooling with your organization’s best practices
• Backstage TechDocs⁠ for making it easy to create, maintain, find, and use technical documentation, using a "docs like code" approach
• Plus, a growing ecosystem of open source plugins⁠ that further expand Backstage’s customizability and functionality

Backstage was created by Spotify but is now hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)⁠ as a Sandbox level project. Read the announcement here⁠.
