Infrastructure on demand from Backstage, and a catalog that builds itself

StackGen gives developers governed self-service infrastructure from Backstage templates. Agents build and maintain your software catalog from the code, and your platform team approves every change.

Backstage, running in production

Two platform teams show how StackGen works inside Backstage.

One uses it to keep the software catalog accurate without hand-written YAML. The other uses it to start new services from approved blueprints, with the infrastructure code written and ready for review.

Aiden reads repositories inside the network and drafts catalog-info.yaml only when a service clears a confidence check. Developers review a pull request instead of writing the file.

Golden paths, governed by default (LATAM Bank)

A Backstage form starts a new service from an approved blueprint. StackGen writes the OpenTofu from the platform team’s own modules and opens the pull request.

[
Where Backstage rollouts stall
]

The portal is live. Two things still hold it back.

[
01
]
Infrastructure is still a ticket
A template creates a repository in minutes. The database, queue or environment behind it still waits in the platform team's queue.
[
02
]
The Catalog updates don't catch up
Developers won't write catalog-info.yaml for every repository. Owners go stale, dependencies stay empty, and people stop trusting the catalog.

Built for platform teams that run Backstage at scale

Golden path templates
Pre-approved patterns for each application type, built on your own modules.
Scaffolder actions
Create projects and appStacks and configure environments from any Backstage template.
Policy at generation
Security and compliance rules run while code is generated, ahead of any review queue.
Identity-based access
Group-based RBAC synced from Microsoft Entra ID, with the highest-privilege role applied.
AI IDE path
Developers request infrastructure from Claude Code or GitHub Copilot through the StackGen MCP server.
Catalog hydration agents
Agents propose catalog entries and owners as pull requests, with a full audit trace.

From install to first golden path

Getting started

01

Install the StackGen Backstage plugin

From the public npm registry, with no GitHub token in the install path.

02

Turn your top requests into golden paths

Start with the three to five infrastructure requests your platform team sees most.

03

Connect identity and policy

Sync groups from your identity provider and load your security rules.

04

Point hydration at one source control system

Measure catalog completeness first, then widen system by system.
