What is Spotify Backstage?
Summary Spotify Backstage is a free, open-source framework for building internal developer portals, with a software catalog, templates, TechDocs, and a large plugin ecosystem. It’s a strong fit if you have a dedicated platform team that wants to build and run its own portal. If you want a current catalog, enforced standards, and org-level reporting without maintaining the infrastructure, a managed platform like Cortex is the better fit.
