## Project roadmap
|
||||
|
||||
We created Backstage about 4 years ago. While our internal version of Backstage has had the benefit of time to mature and evolve, the first iteration of our open source version is still nascent. We are envisioning three phases of the project and we have already begun work on various aspects of these phases:
|
||||
|
||||
- 🐣 **Phase 1:** Extensible frontend platform (Done ✅) - You will be able to easily create a single consistent UI layer for your internal infrastructure and tools. A set of reusable [UX patterns and components](http://backstage.io/storybook) help ensure a consistent experience between tools.
|
||||
|
||||
- 🐢 **Phase 2:** Service Catalog ([alpha released](https://backstage.io/blog/2020/06/22/backstage-service-catalog-alpha)) - With a single catalog, Backstage makes it easy for a team to manage ten services — and makes it possible for your company to manage thousands of them. Developers can get a uniform overview of all their software and related resources, regardless of how and where they are running, as well as an easy way to onboard and manage those resources.
|
||||
|
||||
- 🐇 **Phase 3:** Ecosystem (later) - Everyone's infrastructure stack is different. By fostering a vibrant community of contributors we hope to provide an ecosystem of Open Source plugins/integrations that allows you to pick the tools that match your stack.
|
||||
|
||||
Check out our [Milestones](https://github.com/spotify/backstage/milestones) and open [RFCs](https://github.com/spotify/backstage/labels/rfc) how they relate to the three Phases outlined above.
|
||||
|
||||
Our vision for Backstage is for it to become the trusted standard toolbox (read: UX layer) for the open source infrastructure landscape. Think of it like Kubernetes for developer experience. We realize this is an ambitious goal. We can’t do it alone. If this sounds interesting or you'd like to help us shape our product vision, we'd love to talk.
