Backstage Integration

🏟️ Backstage Integration - Service Catalog

We are excited to announce our Backstage integration on the Backstage Plugin Marketplace.

Backstage is a popular service catalog tool open sourced by Spotify and is used by companies such as Netflix, DoorDash, Hello Fresh, and 100's of others including many of our customers.

We continue to reduce the fragmentation of tooling by building the most pluggable enterprise-ready incident management platform on the market.

Customers can substitute their Rootly service catalog with their existing Backstage implementation and seamlessly ensure both platforms remain in sync.

Features

• Easy to install by leveraging the official Rootly + Backstage plugin: https://backstage.io/plugins
• Import services created and managed in Backstage directly to Rootly
• Create incidents in Rootly that pull from service impact directly from Backstage
• Double click on services in Backstage and browse their respective incident history depending on what was impacted in Rootly
• Browse incident metadata as granular as per service in Backstage such as severity, reporter, status, start/end time, etc.
• Shortcut to create incidents in Rootly via Backstage for easy access
• View on-going Rootly incidents in Backstage for broader visibility
