| keeping-backstage-updated | Keeping Backstage Updated | How to keep your Backstage App updated |
Backstage is always improving, so it's a good idea to stay in sync with the
latest releases. Backstage is more of a library than an application or service;
similar to create-react-app, the @backstage/create-app tool gives you a
starting point that's meant to be evolved.
Updating Backstage versions with backstage-cli
The Backstage CLI has a command to bump all @backstage packages you're using
to the latest versions:
versions:bump.
npx backstage-cli versions:bump
The reason for bumping all @backstage packages at once is dependency between
Backstage packages. React Context, for example, may not be referentially equal
if multiple versions of @backstage/core are loaded.
Following @backstage/create-app changes
Staying up to date with new releases will keep your app up to date, but there
can also be changes to the @backstage/create-app template that may be
beneficial. For that purpose, any changes made to the template are documented
along with upgrade instructions in the
changelog
of the @backstage/create-app package.
