Isn’t it what we can call a great and vibrant community of enthusiasts?
The growth of the ecosystem is not limited to the adopters and contributors. The ecosystem also includes big tech companies interested in growing Backstage by including it as part of their offering and integrations. Our [collaboration with VMWare](https://youtube.com/watch?v=GAzKCQO8Vt0&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE) is a great example of this, and [RedHat](https://developers.redhat.com/articles/2022/10/24/red-hat-joins-backstageio-community) joined the party this year – promising even faster growth in contributions and integrations for the Backstage project.

The growth of the community is so exciting to see. And with all this community growth, comes growth and maturity of the product, making Backstage better able to support adopters in their developer experience challenges. The Backstage open source project has almost [100 plugins](https://backstage.io/plugins), each one implementing a Backstage with a tool or service to improve not only adopters’ Backstage apps, but their unique developer experiences. And almost each week we are aware of a new one being contributed, that is amazing.

The Backstage platform itself is leaving 2022 more mature than ever, thanks to a few of these amazing milestones:

- [Backstage had its first Security Audit ever and now can rely on a Threat Model](https://backstage.io/blog/2022/08/23/backstage-security-audit).

Additionally, we launched a new [Special Interest Groups (SIGs)](https://github.com/backstage/community/tree/main/sigs) initiative this year, following the lead of Kubernetes. We believe Backstage SIGs will better coordinate contributions, grow the platform cohesively with the open source community, and allow contributors to dig even deeper as a community member. At this moment in time there two SIGs in place:
- The [Catalog SIG](https://github.com/backstage/community/blob/main/sigs/sig-catalog/README.md), covering all aspects of the systems and components related to the Software Catalog.
- The [Adoption SIG](https://github.com/backstage/community/blob/main/sigs/sig-adoption/README.md), covering all aspects of the adoption journey of Backstage.
Our plan is to open more SIGs in the 2023 to engage more with the community and to keep driving towards cohesive growth for the community and project.

Last but not least, we cannot miss the first ever conference fully dedicated to Backstage: BackstageCon. What was special there? SO much. But in particular, two things: seeing everyone in real life and the incredible mood and conversations between maintainers, adopters, partners and enthusiasts. It’s hard to emanate just how positive and amazing the vibes were in a blog, but you can read our recap [here](https://backstage.io/blog/2022/10/28/backstagecon-kubecon-2022) or watch the sessions [here](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj6h78yzYM2OKySsTuiip3BqmdYZQRnSf).

## Goodbye, 2022. Hello, 2023!
After this incredible year, thanks to everyone in the global Backstage community who contributed to the open source project in 2022. We are already working on the goals for 2023 – and as a roadmap teaser: we are very much committed to making the journey of adoption easier, faster, more valuable, and overall better. We would not be here today without our amazing community, so thank you for everything!
