Add a Dockerfile which can be used to build an image that the helm charts will use as default. These images require mkdocs and cookiecutter to be installed (for now) in order to work around the docker requirement in kubernetes.
Backstage
What is Backstage?
Backstage is an open platform for building developer portals. Powered by a centralized service catalog, Backstage restores order to your microservices and infrastructure. So your product teams can ship high-quality code quickly — without compromising autonomy.
Backstage unifies all your infrastructure tooling, services, and documentation to create a streamlined development environment from end to end.
Out of the box, Backstage includes:
- Backstage Service Catalog for managing all your software (microservices, libraries, data pipelines, websites, ML models, etc.)
- Backstage Software Templates for quickly spinning up new projects and standardizing your tooling with your organization’s best practices
- Backstage TechDocs for making it easy to create, maintain, find, and use technical documentation, using a "docs like code" approach
- Plus, a growing ecosystem of open source plugins that further expand Backstage’s customizability and functionality
For more information go to backstage.io or join our Discord chatroom.
🎉 Backstage is a CNCF Sandbox project. Read the announcement here.
