Ramifications of Ticket Based Infrastructure Management

83% of Platform Teams Report Infrastructure Provisioning as Top Developer Bottleneck

Development teams wait an average of 3-5 days for DevOps to provision basic cloud resources like S3 buckets and RDS databases. This dependency creates deployment delays and reduces overall developer productivity across organizations.

Organizations Waste 40% of Development Cycles on Manual Infrastructure Tasks

Developers spend 2-3 hours per week submitting infrastructure requests and coordinating with platform teams instead of building features. The lack of self-service capabilities forces skilled engineers into time-consuming operational workflows

67% of Companies Struggle with Inconsistent Infrastructure Across Projects

Without standardized templates, teams create infrastructure configurations that vary wildly between environments and services. This leads to 50% more security vulnerabilities and significantly higher operational maintenance costs

Supercharge Backstage: Self-Service Infrastructure Provisioning For Developers

Enable developers to provision infrastructure directly from Backstage templates, eliminating DevOps bottlenecks while automatically generating Infrastructure as Code from service metadata.

Metadata-Driven IaC Generation

Transforms Backstage service metadata into templated IaC definitions

  • Leverages existing metadata in Backstage, reducing duplication and aligning infrastructure with service definitions.
  • Automatically generates clean, templated Infrastructure as Code (IaC), providing a strong starting point for production-ready infrastructure.

Happy Path Templates

Teams launching new services can generate basic infrastructure templates from the metadata already captured in Backstage.

  • Jumpstarts cloud deployments with pre-scaffolded IaC based on Backstage data, reducing ramp-up time.
  • Provides a standardized approach to infrastructure generation, improving consistency and maintainability.

Generate appStack

Based on the interpreted data, StackGen generates a complete logical infrastructure representation tailored to the service’s needs. This includes both explicitly defined components and any implicitly required resources (e.g., VPCs, subnets, and security groups).

  • appStack Configuration: A StackGen-specific blueprint that captures the full set of infrastructure resources needed to deploy and run your application.
  • IaC Templates: Deployment-ready code in the Terraform format, structured to plug directly into your CI/CD workflows or provisioning pipelines.

Transform Engineering Org Productivity With Self-Service Workflows

Reduce Infrastructure Provisioning Time by 90% with Self-Service Automation

Developers can provision complete environments in minutes instead of waiting days for DevOps approval. Teams report 3x faster time-to-market for new features and services through automated infrastructure generation

Eliminate 75% of Manual DevOps Requests Through Developer Self-Service

Platform teams see a dramatic reduction in operational overhead as developers independently provision standardized infrastructure. This frees up 15-20 hours per week for DevOps teams to focus on strategic initiatives rather than routine provisioning tasks

Achieve 100% Infrastructure as Code Coverage with Automatic Generation

Every provisioned resource becomes version-controlled and reproducible through automated IaC creation from Backstage templates. Organizations report 60% fewer configuration drift issues and significantly improved audit compliance across all environments
