Onboarding Software to Backstage

45 MINS

Introduction

Now that you have a basic Backstage app running, you can make it more your own. In this section, we’ll add some of your organization’s software components into the Software Catalog — and create a Software Template that captures your organization’s best practices for at least one engineering discipline.

Prerequisites

This guide assumes that you’ve completed Standing Up Backstage. Before you continue, make sure that:

  • You have node, yarn, docker, and git set up and working on your machine
  • You can run yarn dev in your local terminal and see the Backstage app in your browser at http://localhost:3000
