Purpose

Our purpose for this project is to first showcase the value of the plugins that we have created. These include the ArgoCD, GitHub Issues, Keycloak, Kubernetes, OCM, Tekton, and Topology plugin. Each of these plugins have been hand picked or created by the Janus IDP team for their practicality.

The second purpose is to demonstrate the power of an internal developer portal using Backstage as the solution. Backstage is an application that can simplify the onboarding process for organizations with plenty of customization through the use of their plugin system.

Features

Today, we have several plugins integrated into the showcase app as a way to demonstrate the versatility of Backstage. Some of these integrations are plugins that we have built while others are ones that we see as must haves in most Backstage instances.

Our current list of plugins within the showcase app include:

Getting Started

Dependencies:

Information on running the showcase app can be found in our Getting Started documentation. In the documentation is how to set up and run an instance of the showcase app locally. We plan to expand upon the documentation at a later point if there is enough interest in other methods for getting the app up and running.

We are excited to see people wanting to contribute to our project and welcome anyone who wishes to participate. You are more than welcome to browse through our open issues and tackle anything you feel confident in working on.

We also welcome non code contributions in the form of bug reporting and documentation writing. If you run across any bugs in the showcase app, please raise an issue here in GitHub.

Community, Discussion, and Support

The Janus Community meeting is held biweekly on Thursday at 1:30 UTC via Google Meet. An agenda can be found for the meeting and we encourage you to add any topics that you wish to discuss.

Bugs should be filled out here on GitHub.

Join the community slack channel for a quick way to reach us or members of the community for discussion and collaboration.
