A little known fact is that many of the requests issued by the plugins used in Roadie Backstage go through the Backstage proxy. We preconfigured some proxies to support the HTTP methods required by each plugin.

These proxies can also be used in the scaffolder, but our users had no way to know that they exist.

As of today, we’ve made default proxies visible in the Roadie Backstage UI so you can get a sense of what is already set up. Visit /administration/settings/proxy to see the default proxies.
