+### New Backend System
+
+The DevTools backend plugin has alpha support for the [new backend system](https://backstage.io/docs/backend-system/), here's how you can set that up:
+
+In your `packages/backend/src/index.ts` make the following changes:
+
+```diff
+  import { createBackend } from '@backstage/backend-defaults';
+  import { appPlugin } from '@backstage/plugin-app-backend';
+  import { catalogPlugin } from '@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend';
+  import {
+    scaffolderPlugin,
+    catalogModuleTemplateKind,
+  } from '@backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend';
+ import { devtoolsPlugin } from '@backstage/plugin-devtools-backend/alpha';
+
+  const backend = createBackend();
+
+  backend.add(appPlugin());
+  backend.add(catalogPlugin());
+  backend.add(catalogModuleTemplateKind());
+  backend.add(scaffolderPlugin());
+
+ backend.add(devtoolsPlugin());
+
+  backend.start();
+```
