Requesting plugins

Published on May 7th, 2022

Introduction

Roadie endeavors to support any Open Source Backstage plugin you might need. This page explains what to do if you don’t see a plugin in our integrations list.

Ensure a plugin exists

The first thing to do is check that a plugin has been created by the community. The official Backstage website contains a canonical list of open-source plugins.

If you see a plugin there which is not present on the Roadie integrations page, there’s a good chance we can add it for you. Please ask support about this via the in-app chat.

When no plugin exists

If you’re using a tool which doesn’t seem to have a community created plugin available, there’s a good chance someone else has already requested it.

To add your support to the request, or to request a new plugin from the community, visit the GitHub issues on the Backstage repo and filter by the Plugins label.

Remember, Growth Plan customers can write their own plugins and publish them to Roadie.
