### Backstage 1.0 (and following versions)
During the first quarter of 2022 it is planned to be finalised and released the version 1.0 of the Backstage platform (defined by the Core, [Catalog](https://backstage.io/docs/features/software-catalog/software-catalog-overview), [Scaffolder](https://backstage.io/docs/features/software-templates/software-templates-index) and [TechDocs](https://backstage.io/docs/features/techdocs/techdocs-overview)). Included as part of this milestone:
- The cadence of minor/weekly/daily releases to provide clarity on the frequency and expectations for future versions of the platform and its defining modules.
- The support model to set the expectations from the adopters in their respective use cases.

### Backstage Security Audit
This initiative is the first of a broader Security Strategy for Backstage. The purpose of the Security Audit is to involve third party companies in auditing the platform and highlighting potential vulnerabilities (if there are any). The benefit for the adopters is clear: we want Backstage to be as much secure as possible and we want to make it reliable through a specific initiative. This initiative in particular is done together (and with the support of) the [Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)](https://www.cncf.io/).

- **Backend Services:** To better scale and maintain the Backstage instances, a backend layer of services is planned to be introduced as part of the software architecture. This layer of backend services will help in decoupling the various modules (Catalog and Scaffolder just to quote some) from the front-end experience.
- **Security Plan (and Strategy):** The purpose of the Security Strategy is to move another step ahead along the path of the maturity of the platform, setting the expectations of any adopters from a security point.

- **Telemetry:** To efficiently collect, store and analyse system and application log data so that Backstage can be monitored and improved.
- **Improved UX design:** Provide a better Backstage user experience through visual guidelines and templates, especially navigation across plug-ins and portal functionalities.
