Backstage Helm Chart for OpenShift

Backstage is an open platform for building developer portals. Powered by a centralized software catalog, Backstage restores order to your microservices and infrastructure and enables your product teams to ship high-quality code quickly — without compromising autonomy.

Backstage unifies all your infrastructure tooling, services, and documentation to create a streamlined development environment from end to end.

This chart offers an opinionated OpenShift-specific experience. It is based on and directly depends on an upstream canonical Backstage Helm chart. For less opinionated experience, please consider using the upstream chart directly.

This chart extends all the features in the upstream chart in addition to including OpenShift only features. It is not recommended to use this chart on other platforms.

Usage

Charts are available in the following formats:

• Chart Repository
