Check out my article on Backstage
I wrote an article about the adoption of Backstage as a central hub for developers in my company. My team and I oversee 600 projects with assets on both public cloud and on-premises, including Jenkins controllers and Azure subscriptions.
In this Medium post, I present how Backstage serves as an Internal Developer Platform (IDP), streamlining the management of these diverse resources and providing self-service capabilities for software engineering Teams in ELCA company.
I worked the last few months on integrating and developing custom plugins for self-service tooling and asset management. The stack of a Backstage plugin is quite standard:
- Backstage is a monorepo structure with plugins in separate folders.
- In the frontend, we use React.
- The backend uses NodeJS and Express for APIs.
Now, this Backstage instance is in production and also used by developers to deploy and manage their resources
