You can use Backstage to organize your microservices, libraries, and infrastructure tools into an internal developer portal. It provides a centralized software catalog where engineering teams track service ownership, dependencies, and deployment health. Developers can scaffold new services quickly using standardized templates with preconfigured repositories and build pipelines. It also renders technical documentation directly from Markdown files stored in code repositories. With its plugin ecosystem, teams can monitor Kubernetes workloads, search internal engineering resources, and integrate continuous integration tools without jumping between multiple dashboards.
