⚡ Lightning Talk: How the Radius Dashboard Leverages Backstage to Build Visualizations of Cloud-Native Applications - Will Tsai & Ryan Nowak, Microsoft
Tuesday November 12, 2024 5:00pm - 5:10pm MST
Salt Palace | Level 1 | Grand Ballroom H
When we set out to build a developer dashboard to accompany the Radius application platform, we were very impressed with how much of an accelerator Backstage proved to be. Our goal was to build a UI so that users could interact with their deployed applications and environments. Since we're not frontend experts, we needed a framework that allows us to build a dashboard with minimal effort, is customizable, and offers an ecosystem of extensibility--all of which Backstage provides. Moreover, the Software Catalog and Software Templates core plugins in Backstage align well with the application-centric development model that Radius aims to provide, making it a natural choice for building the Radius Dashboard. This talk will explore how the team leveraged the Backstage platform to accelerate development of the Radius Dashboard, and how the plugin implementations of the Radius application graph visualizations paves the way for deeper integrations within the Backstage ecosystem.
