Overview

Backstage is an open-source developer portal framework that centralizes software components, infrastructure tools, and documentation into a unified interface. It supports a plugin-based architecture, enabling extensibility across both frontend and backend layers. The SecurSpaces Workspaces Plugin allows developers to view and manage SecurSpaces Workspaces directly from Backstage entity pages. This integration enhances developer productivity by embedding workspace operations into the tools they already use.
