+# airbrake-backend
+
+Welcome to the airbrake-backend backend plugin!
+
+_This plugin was created through the Backstage CLI_
+
+## Getting started
+
+Your plugin has been added to the example app in this repository, meaning you'll be able to access it by running `yarn start` in the root directory, and then navigating to [/airbrake-backend](http://localhost:7007/airbrake-backend).
+
+Here is an example endpoint: http://localhost:7007/airbrake-backend/health
+
+You can also serve the plugin in isolation by running `yarn start` in the plugin directory.
+This method of serving the plugin provides quicker iteration speed and a faster startup and hot reloads.
+
+It is only meant for local development.
