Harness enhances Backstage's framework by offering an Internal Developer Portal (IDP) that provides enterprise-grade features such as workflow automation, streamlined administration, robust governance, and proprietary scorecards. While Backstage is a powerful open source framework for Internal Developer Portals, it requires extensive setup and maintenance, posing challenges for organizations lacking skilled DevOps engineers or front-end developers. Harness mitigates these challenges by delivering a full-featured portal built on Backstage, accelerating the developer experience without compromising security or customization. It offers workflow automation through the Scaffolder, simplifies management with an intuitive administrative interface, and ensures security with robust Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Single Sign-On (SSO) integrations. Proprietary Scorecards aid in tracking organizational progress, while Harness' cautious approach to plugin integration prioritizes security and reliability. Ultimately, Harness bridges the gap between Backstage's framework and enterprise needs, providing a comprehensive, efficient development environment.
