🏟️ Backstage Integration - Service Catalog

We are excited to announce our Backstage integration on the Backstage Plugin Marketplace.

Backstage is a popular service catalog tool open sourced by Spotify and is used by companies such as Netflix, DoorDash, Hello Fresh, and 100’s of others including many of our customers.

We continue to reduce the fragmentation of tooling by building the most pluggable enterprise-ready incident management platform on the market.

Customers can substitute their Rootly service catalog with their existing Backstage implementation and seamlessly ensure both platforms remain in sync.

Double click on services in Backstage and browse their respective incident history depending on what was impacted in Rootly

Shortcut to create incidents in Rootly via Backstage for easy access
