Portal, just like the open-source Backstage project it’s built on, is highly customizable through plugins. This allows you to tailor the application to your company’s specific needs and infrastructure tools. For example, extending Portal with plugins can allow you to:
  • Connect & sync data from external sources
  • Customize the core features of Portal
  • Add special fields or actions to software templates
Most plugins from the Backstage community can be used in Portal. You can also create your own plugins for your Portal instance. This article covers how to create such custom plugins, with examples for specific use cases.
