## Terminology
Backstage is constructed out of three parts. We separate Backstage in this way
because we see three groups of contributors that work with Backstage in three
different ways.
Backstage is organized into three main components, each catering to different groups of contributors who interact with Backstage in distinct ways.
- Core - Base functionality built by core developers in the open source project.
- App - The app is an instance of a Backstage app that is deployed and tweaked.
The app ties together core functionality with additional plugins. The app is
built and maintained by app developers, usually a productivity team within a
company.
- Plugins - Additional functionality to make your Backstage app useful for your
company. Plugins can be specific to a company or open sourced and reusable. At
Spotify we have over 100 plugins built by over 50 different teams. It has been
very powerful to get contributions from various infrastructure teams added
into a single unified developer experience.
- Core - This includes the base functionality developed by core developers within the open-source project.
- App - The app represents a deployed instance of a Backstage application, customized and maintained by app developers, typically a productivity team within an organization. It integrates core functionalities with additional plugins.
- Plugins - These provide additional functionalities to enhance the usefulness of your Backstage app. Plugins can be company-specific or open-sourced and reusable. At Spotify, we have over 100 plugins created by more than 50 different teams, significantly enriching the unified developer experience by incorporating contributions from various infrastructure teams.
