PagerDuty plugin for Backstage - Entity Processor

Bring the power of PagerDuty to Backstage! The PagerDuty 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 Entity Processor package allows users to map their existing PagerDuty services to existing Backstage entities by leveraging point and click instead of updating all configuration files on every single service. We will make the necessary changes to the configuration files for you automatically. With this we want to ease the path for existing PagerDuty customers to integrate easily with Backstage and smoothly transition to a configuration based approach.

Features

• Entity processor This feature augments Backstage entities with the appropiate PagerDuty annotations to allow easy mapping between Backstage entities and existing PagerDuty services.
