# Roadie Local is coming, State of Backstage launches, and Announcements lands *Published: February 3, 2025 | Author: Sam Nixon | Tags: changelog* *The latest features and updates from Roadie.* ## πŸ’ˆ Roadie Local [coming soon] We're going on-prem. We've been toying with this idea for a long-time and we've decided to go all-in on enabling Roadie to be run on customer infrastructure. We call it Roadie Local. More soon - we're aiming for a beta launch in March, moving to general availability in Q2 2025. ## πŸ’ˆ State of Backstage launches We're also launching a survey. When a community reaches a certain level of maturity getting a good lay of the land each year becomes a good idea. Backstage has hit that point - maybe we're even a little late to realise it - so we thought it was time to launch an annual State of Backstage survey. This is a non-commercial activity for us. It’s solely to foster a greater sense of community and information sharing. We’ll publish the report from this survey in Spring 2025 for free (of course). Check it out on the state of backstage.io site. ### πŸ”Œ Plugins & Integrations roundup - __[Announcements plugin](https://roadie.io/docs/integrations/announcements/)__: we pulled in the Announcements plugin to give customers the ability to post updates and requests to their userbase within Roadie. It's a plugin that's been around for some time, but it's developed markedly in the last year or so so we thought it was time. Enjoy!
