Buildkite Plugin

Introduction

The Backstage Buildkite plugin integrates with Buildkite to show your build information inside Backstage where it can be associated with your services.

At a Glance

Add Buildkite to one of your components

Add the Buildkite annotation

First, add an annotation in the catalog-info.yaml file for a service that uses Buildkite like so:

metadata:
  annotations:
    buildkite.com/project-slug: <buildkiteorganization/buildkitepipeline>

Add your API Key

You will need to create an API key for your Org in Buildkite with read permissions.

Then add it to Roadie at /administration/buildkite.

Add the plugin

In Roadie, find and select the service via the Component Catalog or Search.

Click the plus icon to add a new plugin for your component.

Select the EntityBuildkiteContent card from the drop-down and click Create.

You should now see your Buildkite pipeline runs inside Roadie!

You can then click in individual builds to see more info.
