Backstage is an open-source platform that provides a centralized location for software development teams to manage their applications, infrastructure, and pipelines. Its plugin system allows users to extend the platform and provide visibility across the entire software development lifecycle. Backstage integrates with various systems, including CI/CD tools, monitoring, and alerting systems, providing a single source of truth for configuration and security information. The Snyk API integration enables developers to visualize security data directly in Backstage, along with prioritization and remediation advice, empowering teams to access and action security information efficiently. This integration supports cloud-native application development and security by surfacing security information early and often during the development process.
