### Features
|
||||
* Create and manage all of your organization’s software and microservices in one place
|
||||
* Services catalog keeps track of all software and its ownership
|
||||
* Visualizations provide information about your backend services and tooling, and help you monitor them
|
||||
* A unified method for managing microservices offers both visibility and control
|
||||
* Preset templates allow engineers to quickly create microservices in a standardized way ([coming soon](https://github.com/spotify/backstage/milestone/11))
|
||||
* Centralized, full-featured technical documentation with integrated tooling that makes it easy for developers to set up, publish, and maintain alongside their code ([coming soon](https://github.com/spotify/backstage/milestone/15))

### Benefits
|
||||
* For engineering managers, it allows you to maintain standards and best practices across the organization, and can help you manage your whole tech ecosystem, from migrations to test certification.
|
||||
* For end users (developers), it makes it fast and simple to build software components in a standardized way, and it provides a central place to manage all projects and documentation.
|
||||
* For platform engineers, it enables extensibility and scalability by letting you easily integrate new tools and services (via plugins), as well as extending the functionality of existing ones.
|
||||
* For everyone, it’s a single, consistent experience that ties all your infrastructure tooling, resources, standards, owners, contributors, and administrators together in one place.

The Backstage platform consists of a number of different components:

|

- **app** - Main web application that users interact with. It's built up by a number of different _Plugins_. This repo contains an example implementation of an app (located in `packages/example-app`) and you can easily get started with your own app by [creating one](docs/create-an-app.md).

|
||||
- [**plugins**](https://github.com/spotify/backstage/tree/master/plugins) - Each plugin is treated as a self-contained web app and can include almost any type of content. Plugins all use a common set of platform API's and reusable UI components. Plugins can fetch data either from the _backend_ or through any RESTful API exposed through the _proxy_.
|
||||
- [**service catalog**](https://github.com/spotify/backstage/tree/master/packages/backend) - Service that holds the model of your software ecosystem, including organisational information and what team owns what software. The backend also has a Plugin model for extending its graph.
|
||||
- **proxy** \* - Terminates HTTPS and exposes any RESTful API to Plugins.
