I did not expect that. So Backstage asks you to manually insert plugin components into the app source code? Yeah... that really doesn't feel like a plugin architecture to me. More like patch the source code so it does what you need it to do. Nothing wrong with that, but not a plugin architecture.
- frompdx 2y agoThe trouble with the way Backstage is designed is that it makes keeping everything up to date difficult. It is also harder for them to ship updates for their core and plugins due to the labor involved in incorporating any updates. A plugin architecture like Wordpress or Grafana is much more manageable for an operator. In fact, a set of plugins for Wordpress could probably get you an equivalent solution, but it's PHP, so you know, ew. I'd love to see an alternative to backstage that gets it right.
