Summary

Backstage is an open-source framework used by organizations to create internal developer portals (IDPs) that centralize service metadata for software developers. However, data stored in Backstage can become siloed, complicating integration with monitoring tools like Datadog. To address this, a Datadog Plugin for Backstage was developed by engineers at Cvent, allowing users to unify service metadata and telemetry by integrating Backstage data into the Datadog Software Catalog. This integration enhances observability, streamlines incident response, and maintains a single source of truth while allowing engineers to correlate telemetry signals with comprehensive service metadata. By automatically syncing Backstage data with Datadog, teams can visualize service dependencies and maintain existing workflows without metadata duplication, ultimately improving software delivery and system health monitoring.
