> UPDATE: The backend system is now released! See [the v1.18 release notes](https://backstage.io/docs/releases/v1.18.0).
For the past year, the Backstage maintainer team has been spending time to give the [old Backstage backend system](https://backstage.io/docs/plugins/backend-plugin) a much needed revamp. Our goal was not to build something completely new from scratch, but rather to solidify the existing foundations that have grown organically. We wanted to make plugin installation a lot simpler, while maintaining and even improving the ways in which you can customize your backend setups.
Were happy to announce that the [v1.11](https://backstage.io/docs/releases/v1.11.0) release includes the public alpha of the [new Backstage backend system](https://backstage.io/docs/backend-system/)! The system has already been available to use for some time, as some of you have already found, but this alpha release marks the point where we are finally ready to encourage widespread adoption by plugin builders. We still dont recommend that you use this new system in your production setups just yet, more on that later.
