Backstage

Backstage is an open platform that allows organizations to create internal developer portals. These portals centralize tools, documentation, and workflows, providing developers with a single interface to access the resources they need for their projects. By integrating env0’s Backstage plugin, teams can extend their developer portal to include IaC management.
