Create new Fairwinds Insights Backstage Plugin (new workspace) by vitorvezani · Pull Request #7550 · backstage/community-plugins

vitorvezani · 2026-02-09T15:38:46Z

Hey, I just made a Pull Request!

What was added
New workspace Fairwinds Insights that integrates Fairwinds Insights with Backstage.

Plugins

@backstage-community/plugin-fairwinds-insights – Frontend plugin with entity cards for vulnerabilities, MTD cost, action items (table + top charts), and resource history (pod count, CPU, memory). Entities are linked via the insights.fairwinds.com/app-groups annotation.
@backstage-community/plugin-fairwinds-insights-backend – Backend plugin that proxies to the Fairwinds Insights API, resolves entity → app-groups from the catalog, and exposes routes for vulnerabilities, action items, costs, and resource usage timeseries.
@backstage-community/plugin-fairwinds-insights-common – Shared types, permissions, and constants.

@vinzscam hi there 👋 - just checking if there's any update or feedback on this? Happy to make changes / answer questions / rebase / etc. Thanks for your time!

Hi @vitorvezani, we often won't review PRs if the CI is failing and when I looked at this last that was the case. There was no indication help was asked for so we assume that you are working on it as you have time.

I didn't do a full review but please remove the example app and use the /dev/index pattern instead. This is something we very much want to avoid. 👍

Hi @vinzscam, just a friendly nudge to tell that everything should be in a better shape now and ready for a fresh look whenever you have a moment. Thanks a ton in advance.

awanlin · 2026-03-21T14:42:43Z

Hi @vitorvezani, sorry for the delay, with BackstageCon/KubeCon taking place this week many of us have been pretty busy with preparation and travels. I'll try to give this a look over soon, the internet at the airport on Friday was terrible which is when I had planned to look at this again :(

Thanks for the contribution!

Hi @vinzscam, just checking back on this when you have a moment. Let me know if there’s anything blocking the review or if I can help move this forward. Thanks!

Thanks for being patient with the speed of reviews @vitorvezani. Gave this a look over and it's very close. We really need to have the New Frontend system support in place as that's now the default.

All good @awanlin, thanks for getting back to me!

I spent some time going through the docs, migration guide, and a few other plugins, and I think I’ve got the new frontend system set up properly now.

One question though: since this is a new plugin, do we still need to support the old approach via the "Hybrid Configuration", or is it fine to stick with only the New Frontend System?

I also put together a standalone app using the fairwinds-insights plugin extensions for reference:
vitorvezani/backstage-standalone-fairwinds-insights-plugin@e92c8c3

Let me know if you see anything else that should be improved or adjusted.

Thanks for the follow up @vitorvezani, this is in a state that I think we should merge and release it. 🚀

@awanlin thanks for the guidance and patience.

Now that the plugin is merged, should I ping someone about backstage/community#275? I got mentioned here #8636, but I don't have approval status for the plugin.
