PagerDuty plugin for Backstage - Backend

Bring the power of PagerDuty to Backstage! The PagerDuty backend plugin reduces the cognitive load on developers responsible for maintaining services in production. Instead of having to go to PagerDuty's console, you can now access the necessary information directly within Backstage. This includes finding active incidents or opening a new incident, reviewing recent changes made to the service, and checking who is on-call.

The PagerDuty backend plugin augments the capabilities of the PagerDuty frontend plugin by improving security and enabling PagerDuty a standardization through easy configuration.

Features

• Scaffolder Action for creating services This feature enables teams to create project templates that automatically generate a corresponding service in PagerDuty. These services come with a built-in integration to Backstage, which conveniently configures the frontend plugin for your service.
