## Stitching
|
||||
|
||||
Stitching finalizes the entity by combining all data gathered such as relations,
|
||||
errors and the processed entity itself into a final object which is essentially
|
||||
the result that will be returned from the catalog API.
|
||||
Stitching finalizes the entity, by gathering all of the output from the previous
|
||||
steps and merging them into the final object which is what is visible from the
|
||||
catalog API. As the final entity itself gets updated, the stitcher makes sure
|
||||
that the search table gets refreshed accordingly as well.
|
||||
|
||||
> Note: The search table mentioned here is not related to the core Search
|
||||
> feature of Backstage. It's rather the table that backs the ability to filter
|
||||
> catalog API query results.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The diagram shows how the stitcher reads from several sources:
|
||||
|
||||
- The processed entity, as returned from the processing step
|
||||
- The errors, if any, that were emitted by the processing step
|
||||
- All relations that were emitted by the processing step, as well as any
|
||||
relations emitted by _other_ entity processing steps that happen to point at
|
||||
the current entity
|
||||
|
||||
The last part is noteworthy: This is how the stitcher is able to collect all of
|
||||
the relation edges, both incoming and outgoing, no matter who produced them.
|
||||
|
||||
The stitching is currently a fixed process, that cannot be modified or extended.
|
||||
This means that any modifications you want to make on the final result, has to
|
||||
happen during ingestion or processing.
