All Your Developers Needs in a
Single Integrated Developer Portal
Service catalogs provides you all the services available in the development environment. For each service, the catalog displays who owns that service, which team manages it, the documentation and other important information.
Service catalogs provide a central platform that acts as a single source of truth.
SERVICE CATALOG
API or service templates, refer to pre-configured structures or configurations that developers can use as a starting point for creating new APIs, microservices, or services within the organization.
These templates help standardize the development process, ensuring consistency in the structure, documentation, and features of the APIs or services.
SERVICE TEMPLATES
As a developer you are responsible for the code that you write, but this code runs in a cluster environment that you would like to see and observe for the benefit of the service that you are working on.
Your cluster will give you an overview of the environment your application is running in so that you have a view on the resources that you use in the cluster.
YOUR CLUSTER
The Backstage search engine goes beyond the traditional search in a product. Build-in search in Backstage is limited to the software catalog and the documentation.
The search platform, however can be extended with plugins that bring your own and integrated search tools like Elastic, Stack Overflow and the likes.
This goal is to provide your developers the information they need from where it resides.

The TechDocs feature in Backstage aims to address the challenge of managing documentation in large and complex software development environments.
By providing a centralized, versioned, and searchable documentation platform, TechDocs aims to improve developer productivity, collaboration, and the overall documentation experience within an organization.
It's particularly useful for teams adopting a microservices architecture where managing documentation for numerous services can become challenging.
TECHDOCS
Backstage integrations refers to the capability of Backstage, an open-source developer platform, to seamlessly integrate with various workflows and tools commonly used in the software development lifecycle.
