Improve loading speed of the CI/CD page. Only request the necessary fields from Jenkins to keep the request size low. In addition everything is loaded in a single request, instead of requesting each job and build individually. As this (and also the previous behavior) can lead to a big amount of data, this limits the amount of jobs to 50. For each job, only the latest build is loaded. Loading the full build history of a job can lead to excessive load on the Jenkins instance.
Plugins
Backstage is a single-page application composed of a set of plugins.
Our goal for the plugin ecosystem is that the definition of a plugin is flexible enough to allow you to expose pretty much any kind of infrastructure or software development tool as a plugin in Backstage. By following strong design guidelines we ensure the overall user experience stays consistent between plugins.
Creating a plugin
To create a plugin, follow the steps outlined here.
Suggesting a plugin
If you start developing a plugin that you aim to release as open source, we suggest that you create a new Issue. This helps the community know what plugins are in development.
You can also use this process if you have an idea for a good plugin but you hope that someone else will pick up the work.
