One service catalog. Instant visibility, zero confusion
Centralize software, APIs, resources, and teams in one place. End the guesswork around what exists and who owns it. Keep documentation up-to-date with a centralized docs-like-code approach.
Move Fast and (Don’t) Break Things
Deploy fast, securely and consistently with Templates
Service templates enforce security and compliance with best practices, allowing developers to deploy autonomously and consistently. Launch faster without bottlenecks — no need for manual approvals.
Spot Code That Doesn’t Meet Standards
Identify where code falls short of standards. Fix it fast
Set engineering standards and automate checks for security, compliance, and deployment quality. Track key metrics, identify bottlenecks, and maintain high-quality software delivery.
Out-Of-The-Box Ready and Endlessly Extensible
Start quickly. Go further. With the Backstage community
Roadie’s portal is ready on day one. Fast setup, seamless integrations, and access to 100+ Backstage plugins to help you grow quickly without the overhead.
Leading architectural change through Roadie Backstage
Andy Hoffman, Caribou BackstageCon, Detroit 2022
Yesterday you’re a scrappy startup; today, you’re funded and have 12 months to 10x your team and system capacity. In this talk, Andy shows how Backstage—via Roadie—can help wrangle unintuitive architectures, overwhelming options, and unfamiliar patterns for teams going through hyper-growth.
A single pane of glass for your software development life cycle.
Cut onboarding time
Get engineers up to speed in days, not months.
Tackle growing pains
Engineers are constantly joining or switching teams. Make them effective, and help them stay that way.
Make tools discoverable
Centralize around the service catalog. Make API specs, docs and tooling easy to access in one place
Proven results
Spotify saw "time to 10ᵗʰ commit" drop by 55% in the two years after deploying Backstage internally. All while onboarding hundreds of engineers each year.
Standardize service creation
Create services from templates which already have your best practices built in.
Increase production consistency
Homogeneous environments are easier to operate and scale. Cut down on snowflake services.
Golden path to production
Encode your best practices to make production consistency the path of least resistance.
Codify service ownership
Track teams and software and assign one to the other.
Improve maintainability
Unowned services are a maintenance, security and operations nightmare.
Unlock InnerSourcing
Empower teams to contribute to the code around them. It starts with a conversation with the service owner.
Tech docs that get read
Docs-like-code helps Spotify document thousands of internal components.
Write docs as code
Markdown docs live alongside the code where they can be peer reviewed in pull requests.
Organized and searchable
Docs are organized in the service catalog and searchable for discoverability.
Demonstrated at scale
Spotify experienced an explosion of docs writing after adopting this methodology internally.
Track engineering maturity and migrations
Define engineering standards and initiatives that get checked automatically across your ecosystem.
Find out which teams are experiencing challenges
Standards adherence can be grouped by teams, offering insight into who may need more support to adopt new practices.
Understand your migration’s progress
Initiatives are designed to keep track of wide-org migrations, offering insights about the change across software components.
