Thanks for your detailed explanation of BackStage.

[@the_good_guy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@spikygoldfish]

I'm loving these platform engineering videos. Backstage is something I didn't know I needed. The developer experience looks so much better than switching back and forth between different tools and talking to people just to understand the system.

[@the_good_guy]

Thank you very much!

[@MajormerWizard]

Absolutely necessary watching for a new Platform Engineer looking at implementing an IDP.

[@the_good_guy]

Hi, i've noticed that you have the Cost Insights Plugin added, i was looking at the documentation, but im having a hard time installing the plugin on my local backstage instance, anyways my question is, do you know if this plugin can only be used with aws CSP?, or it can be used with the other 2 big CSP?, thanks in advance.

[@the_good_guy]

In this video, I'm using the Backstage live demo, you can browse it too without installing anything. Installing plugins locally can be hard, you can watch the 4th video in the series to learn more about how to add them. I don't know the cost plugin well but I can guess it works fine with the top 3 CSPs.

The relations widget is backwards lol the things that depend on your API should be on the right unless you read from right to left, this is definitely a backend tool

[@the_good_guy]

☺️ I haven't noticed but you are right

[@porasmanjrekar9925]

hi can you please make a video on how to integrate ci/cd tools with backstage

[@the_good_guy]

Yes, we can do something with ArgoCD

[@porasmanjrekar9925]

@@the_good_guy hey, thanks for your reply I managed to configured it with github actions.

[@amjads8971]

Is it open source ?

[@the_good_guy]

Yes, you can find the repo here - github.com/backstage/backstage/

[@areebafarooq2694]

how to login to backstage?

[@the_good_guy]

You don't need to login, you can use this demo - demo.backstage.io/

[@gdevelek]

Who puts all this data INTO Backstage? If it's manual work, it's a big problem.

[@the_good_guy]

You can use Backstage git integration to fetch this information. Usually organization have a creation flow that fills this information from the organisational systems.
