Overall Satisfaction with Backstage

We use Backstage to develop our internal developer portal within our org. Before we introduced Backstage, there were different tools offered by different teams in difference places. There were no centralized view to see how many tools we had. Now with this new portal, all tools exists in the same platform, and each team can offer their services as backstage plugins.
  • developer portal
  • easy to onboard
  • easy to extend
  • it may provide more modules that can solve common problems
  • plugin framework
  • open source
  • good community
  • It speeds up our progress on building our own developer portal
  • It's free to use so very little investment

Backstage is well suited in building developer portal or developer platform. It can be easily customized as well, so different companies can use it based on their own situation. It currently focus more on frontend, but I can see there is already a roadmap for improving backend with some core modules. After that has been introduced, it will become really powerful and save developers time to solve common problems.
