Looking for beta testers and brutal feedback.
I'm Anders, co-founder of Shoehorn (https://shoehorn.dev/).For about a year I was genuinely excited about Backstage. Saw the Spotify demo, thought "I want that too". Turned out it wasn't as easy. But to be fair, Backstage is a great piece of software. Powerful, flexible, and if you have a dedicated developer team to run it, you can build something amazing on top of it.The catch is exactly that:...
"The irony of Backstage is that it was created to prevent teams from having to reinvent the wheel every time, building and maintaining their own developer portal. But that's exactly what everyone does with Backstage."
We wanted something you configure,deploy,update. thats it.
service catalog, GitHub crawler, K8s entity discovery via k8s-push-agent, Forge + molds (scaffolding/workflows, like Backstage templates), governance, scorecards, cloud provider resources, license management, event based notifications, team-context aware, API keys with scope auth alongside session RBAC. CLI and Terraform provider too.
We're aiming to release Beta end of April.
