 Backend services provide shared functionality available to all backend plugins and modules. They are made available through service references that embed a type that represents the service interface, similar to how [Utility APIs](../../api/utility-apis.md) work in the Backstage frontend system. To use a service in your plugin or module you request an implementation of that service using the service reference.

 Plugins provide the actual base features of a Backstage backend. Each plugin operates completely independently of all other plugins and they only communicate with each other through network calls. This means that there is a strong degree of isolation between plugins, and that each plugin can be considered a separate microservice. While a default Backstage project has all plugins installed within a single backend, it is also possible to split this setup into multiple backends, with each backend housing one or more plugins.

 While plugins are able to use static configuration for lightweight forms of customization, you can quickly hit a limit where you need something more powerful to allow users to extend your plugin. For this purpose, the backend system provides a mechanism for plugins to provide extension points, which can be used to expose deeper customizations for your plugin. Extension points are used by modules, which are installed in the backend adjacent to plugins. Modules are covered more in-depth in the [next section](./06-modules.md).

 Backend modules are used to extend [plugins](./04-plugins.md) or sometimes other modules with additional features or change existing behavior. They must always be installed in the same backend instance as the plugin that they extend, and may only extend a single plugin. Modules interact with their target plugin using the [extension points](./05-extension-points.md) registered by the plugin, while also being able to depend on the [services](./03-services.md) of that plugin.

 These are the naming patterns to adhere to within the backend system. They help us keep exports consistent across packages and make it easier to understand the usage and intent of exports.

 Migrating an existing backend plugin to the new backend system is fairly straightforward. The process is similar across the majority of plugins which just return a `Router` that is then wired up in the `index.ts` file of your backend. The primary thing that we need to do is to make sure that the dependencies that are required by the plugin are available, and then registering the router with the HTTP router service.

 The default backend provides several [core services](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/blob/master/packages/backend-plugin-api/src/services/definitions/coreServices.ts) out of the box which includes access to configuration, logging, URL Readers, databases and more.
