Best Spotify Backstage alternative designed for building developer platforms
About Spotify Backstage
Spotify’s Backstage is an open-source framework for building Internal Developer Platforms. The primary function of Backstage is to act as a service catalog. Teams build services and integrate arbitrary data like CI status, software inventories, URLs, and service documentation. This is useful in organizations that are too big to easily manage and document their services and teams. The plugin ecosystem provides many useful features, however many plugins require you to build backend systems to support them.
