Backstage is currently under rapid development. This page details the projects
public roadmap, the result of ongoing collaboration between the core maintainers
and the broader Backstage community. Treat the roadmap as an ever-evolving guide
to keep us aligned as a community on:
- Upcoming enhancements and benefits,
- Planning contributions and support,
- Planning the projects adoption,
- Understanding what things are coming soon,
- Avoiding duplication of work
### How to influence the roadmap
As we evolve Backstage, we want you to contribute actively in the journey to
define the most effective developer experience in the world.
A roadmap is only useful if it captures real needs. If you have success stories,
feedback, or ideas, we want to hear from you! If you plan to work (or are
already working) on a new or existing feature, please let us know, so that we
can update the roadmap accordingly. We are also happy to share knowledge and
context that will help your feature land successfully.
You can also head over to the
[CONTRIBUTING](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
guidelines to get started.
If you have specific questions about the roadmap, please create an
[issue](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/issues/new/choose), ping us on
[Discord](https://discord.gg/awD6SxgQ), or
[book time](http://calendly.com/spotify-backstage) with the Spotify team.
### How to read the roadmap
and the broader Backstage community.
The Backstage roadmap lays out both [“whats next”](#whats-next) and
[“future work”](#future-work). With "next" we mean features planned for release
within the ongoing quarter from January through March 2022. With "future" we
mean features in the radar, but not yet scheduled.
| [What's next](#whats-next) | [Future work](#future-work) |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Backstage 1.0 (and following versions)](#backstage-10-and-following-versions) <br/> [Backstage Security Audit](#backstage-security-audit) <br/> [Moving to Incubation in CNCF](#moving-to-incubation-in-cncf) | Backend Services <br/> Security Plan (and Strategy) <br/> TechDocs Addon framework <br/> Composable Homepage 1.0 <br/> GraphQL <br/> Telemetry <br/> Improved UX design |
The long-term roadmap (12 - 36 months) is not detailed in the public roadmap.
Third-party contributions are also not currently included in the roadmap. Let us
know about any ongoing developments and were happy to include it here as well.
### Roadmap evolution
