+A backend for [Nomad](https://www.nomadproject.io/), this plugin exposes a service with routes that are used by the `@backstage/plugin-nomad-backend` plugin to query Job and Group information from a Nomad API.

+
+```diff
+  import { createBackend } from '@backstage/backend-defaults';
+  const backend = createBackend();
+  // ... other feature additions
+  backend.add(import('@backstage/plugin-nomad-backend'));
+  backend.start();
+```
