We\u2019re confident these plugins will take each and every developer portal built on Backstage to the next level, by making developers in your organization happier and more productive,\u201d Austin Lamon, Director, GM of Backstage at Spotify wrote in a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/backstage.spotify.com\/blog\/now-available-spotify-plugins-for-backstage\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blog post<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/backstage.spotify.com\/blog\/now-available-spotify-plugins-for-backstage\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first plugin, Soundcheck, codifies engineering best practices to improve quality, reliability, security, and alignment throughout a software ecosystem in a gamified way. It includes an entity page that\u00a0 provides a comprehensive snapshot of a specific entity\u2019s tech health, pass or fail checks, and an overview page that provides a grid view of all entities owned by specific groups inside the organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next plugin, Role-Based Access Control helps users manage access and protect their data in Backstage to meet evolving security and compliance needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skill Exchange is an internal marketplace to promote and seek out unique, on-the-job learning opportunities for developers and other members of the tech ecosystem. It offers search and quick navigation to learning opportunities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pulse lets users track productivity and satisfaction metrics so that they can visualize metrics in Backstage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, Insights enables developers to see how the organization is performing in Backstage by underscoring on the roadmap where things need to be doubled down on or deprecated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThese plugins have been put through endless hours of internal use, iteration, and improvement. We know they work because they\u2019ve done amazing things for us \u2014 from Soundcheck bringing test flakiness to below 1% to Skill Exchange powering thousands of collaborative hacks between teams,\u201d Lamon added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spotify launched its Spotify Plugins for Backstage subscription as an open beta to all Backstage adopters.
