Eliminate the Guesswork
One service catalog. Instant visibility, zero confusion
Centralize software, APIs, resources, and teams in one place. End the guesswork around what exists and who owns it. Keep documentation up-to-date with a centralized docs-like-code approach.
Move Fast and (Don’t) Break Things
Deploy fast, securely and consistently with Templates
Service templates enforce security and compliance with best practices, allowing developers to deploy autonomously and consistently. Launch faster without bottlenecks — no need for manual approvals.
Spot Code That Doesn’t Meet Standards
Identify where code falls short of standards. Fix it fast
Set engineering standards and automate checks for security, compliance, and deployment quality. Track key metrics, identify bottlenecks, and maintain high-quality software delivery.
Out-Of-The-Box Ready and Endlessly Extensible
Start quickly. Go further. With the Backstage community
Roadie’s portal is ready on day one. Fast setup, seamless integrations, and access to 100+ Backstage plugins to help you grow quickly without the overhead.

Turn tribal knowledge into shared context
A single pane of glass for your software development life cycle.
Cut onboarding time
Get engineers up to speed in days, not months.
Tackle growing pains
- Engineers are constantly joining or switching teams. Make them effective, and help them stay that way.
Make tools discoverable
- Centralize around the service catalog. Make API specs, docs and tooling easy to access in one place
Proven results
- Spotify saw "time to 10ᵗʰ commit" drop by 55% in the two years after deploying Backstage internally. All while onboarding hundreds of engineers each year.
Standardize service creation
Create services from templates which already have your best practices built in.
Increase production consistency
- Homogeneous environments are easier to operate and scale. Cut down on snowflake services.
Golden path to production
- Encode your best practices to make production consistency the path of least resistance.
Codify service ownership
Track teams and software and assign one to the other.
Improve maintainability
- Unowned services are a maintenance, security and operations nightmare.
Unlock InnerSourcing
- Empower teams to contribute to the code around them. It starts with a conversation with the service owner.
Tech docs that get read
Docs-like-code helps Spotify document thousands of internal components.
Write docs as code
- Markdown docs live alongside the code where they can be peer reviewed in pull requests.
Organized and searchable
- Docs are organized in the service catalog and searchable for discoverability.
Demonstrated at scale
- Spotify experienced an explosion of docs writing after adopting this methodology internally.
Track engineering maturity and migrations
Define engineering standards and initiatives that get checked automatically across your ecosystem.
Find out which teams are experiencing challenges
- Standards adherence can be grouped by teams, offering insight into who may need more support to adopt new practices.
Understand your migration’s progress
- Initiatives are designed to keep track of wide-org migrations, offering insights about the change across software components.
