TECH INSIGHTS FEATURES

Measure and improve software quality

Define checks, group them into scorecards, and track compliance across your entire software ecosystem. No manual audits required.

Automated checks

Write checks that run against source code and third-party APIs. Find software that is not meeting expectations and report it to the people who can fix it.

Scorecards

Group checks into scorecards your teams understand—"Security best practices Level 1", "Production SRE requirements Level 3". Track progress across the organization.

Notifications and nudges

Warn engineers when they are about to violate standards. Prompts in Slack and on pull requests nudge teams toward better practices.

Migration tracking

Roll out library upgrades and API changes with confidence. Track migration progress company-wide with automatically updating reports.

Flexible integrations

Checks integrate with PagerDuty, Datadog, GitHub, and more. Build your own integrations for internal systems and APIs.

No vendor lock-in

Built on Backstage's Tech Insights. Your checks and scorecards are portable. Switch to self-hosted Backstage anytime if you outgrow our solution.
WHY TECH INSIGHTS

Standards that stick

Move from reactive audits to proactive quality. Tech Insights makes standards visible and actionable.

01

Culture of quality

Teams see how they compare to the rest of the company. Gamification drives behavior change without heavy-handed mandates.

02

Proactive compliance

Security, operations, and compliance requirements are checked automatically. Issues surface before they become incidents.

03

No more spreadsheets

Stop project managing migrations in spreadsheets. Real-time dashboards show current state across all services.

Roadie has been fantastic to work with and allowed us to adopt Backstage without the overhead.
