Testimonials
Nguyen is a champ. He's fast and has great communication. Well done!
Thanks to MeteorOps, infrastructure changes have been completed without any errors. They provide excellent ideas, manage tasks efficiently, and deliver on time. They communicate through virtual meetings, email, and a messaging app. Overall, their experience in Kubernetes and AWS is impressive.
Working with MeteorOps was exactly the solution we looked for. We met a professional, involved, problem solving DevOps team, that gave us an impact in a short term period.
I was impressed at how quickly they were able to handle new tasks at a high quality and value.
They have been great at adjusting and improving as we have worked together.
We were impressed with their commitment to the project.
We got to meet Michael from MeteorOps through one of our employees. We needed DevOps help and guidance and Michael and the team provided all of it from the very beginning. They did everything from dev support to infrastructure design and configuration to helping during Production incidents like any one of our own employees. They actually became an integral part of our organization which says a lot about their personal attitude and dedication.
Good consultants execute on task and deliver as planned. Better consultants overdeliver on their tasks. Great consultants become full technology partners and provide expertise beyond their scope.
I am happy to call MeteorOps my technology partners as they overdelivered, provide high-level expertise and I recommend their services as a very happy customer.
I was impressed with the amount of professionalism, communication, and speed of delivery.
You guys are really a bunch of talented geniuses and it's a pleasure and a privilege to work with you.
They are very knowledgeable in their area of expertise.
From my experience, working with MeteorOps brings high value to any company at almost any stage. They are uncompromising professionals, who achieve their goal no matter what.

How it works?
Backstage is an open-source developer portal framework used by platform and DevOps teams to standardize how engineers discover, own, and operate software. It centralizes service catalogs, documentation, and tooling so teams can reduce “tribal knowledge” and create consistent workflows across microservices, infrastructure, and data products. Backstage is commonly adopted by organizations building internal platforms and looking to improve visibility into service ownership, dependencies, and operational readiness.
Typically deployed as a web application (often on Kubernetes) and extended through a plugin architecture, Backstage integrates with CI/CD, source control, cloud services, and observability tools to provide a single entry point for developers.
- Service catalog for tracking systems, components, APIs, and owners
- TechDocs for generating and hosting internal documentation
- Templates and scaffolding to bootstrap new services with approved standards
- Plugin-based integrations with common DevOps and cloud toolchains
- Governance signals for surfacing metadata like maturity, compliance, and dependencies
Backstage is an open-source framework for building an internal developer portal that centralizes a service catalog, documentation, and developer tooling. It is used to improve software ownership, discoverability, and operational consistency across teams.
- Unifies service discovery through a single catalog that models systems, components, resources, and ownership metadata.
- Improves operational accountability by making on-call, runbooks, SLOs, and escalation paths easy to find from the service page.
- Standardizes documentation with integrated docs workflows so teams can publish and maintain service docs in a consistent format.
- Enables self-service platform interactions by surfacing common actions like provisioning, access requests, and environment links in one place.
- Scales via a plugin architecture that integrates with tools like Kubernetes, Git providers, CI/CD, incident management, and observability stacks.
- Accelerates new service creation using templates and scaffolding to enforce golden paths, conventions, and baseline compliance.
- Supports governance by encoding required metadata, lifecycle states, and standards checks directly into catalog registration.
- Reduces cognitive load by aggregating key links, dashboards, and operational context per service instead of relying on tribal knowledge.
- Works well in polyrepo and microservices environments where ownership and dependencies are otherwise hard to track.
- Provides a foundation for internal developer experience improvements without locking into a single vendor portal product.
Backstage typically fits organizations with multiple teams and many services where ownership, documentation, and operational workflows are fragmented. It requires ongoing platform ownership to curate the catalog model, maintain plugins, and keep templates aligned with evolving standards.
Common alternatives include Spotify Portals, OpsLevel, Cortex, and Port (some are more turnkey, while Backstage offers more flexibility and extensibility). For background on the project, see https://backstage.io/.
Our experience with Backstage helped us build repeatable patterns and internal tooling for developer portals, so we can help clients standardize how teams discover, own, and operate services across complex environments.
Some of the things we did include:
- Implemented Backstage service catalogs and ownership models, aligning metadata, tags, and lifecycle states across dozens of teams and repositories.
- Built and customized Backstage plugins (frontend and backend) to integrate internal systems, including scorecards, golden-path checks, and platform requests.
- Deployed Backstage on Kubernetes with hardened configuration, RBAC, secrets management, and environment promotion through CI/CD pipelines.
- Integrated Backstage with GitHub and GitLab to automate entity ingestion, repository linking, and pull-request workflows.
- Connected Backstage to Terraform-based provisioning to expose self-service templates and reduce manual platform tickets.
- Standardized documentation workflows using TechDocs, including build pipelines, storage backends, and conventions for service-level runbooks.
- Implemented SSO and access controls using enterprise identity providers, mapping groups to catalog visibility and plugin permissions.
- Integrated observability links and dashboards from Grafana and Prometheus so engineers could navigate from a service to its health signals quickly.
- Designed migration plans from ad-hoc wikis and spreadsheets into Backstage, including data cleanup, entity modeling, and phased rollouts.
- Delivered enablement for platform and product teams, including operating procedures, contribution guidelines, and support handover for long-term maintenance.
This experience helped us accumulate significant knowledge across multiple Backstage use-cases, and it enables us to deliver high-quality Backstage setups that are secure, maintainable, and practical for day-to-day engineering workflows.
Some of the things we can help you do with Backstage include:
- Assess your current developer experience and platform tooling, then deliver a Backstage readiness review with prioritized recommendations.
- Define a pragmatic adoption roadmap covering ownership, governance, and a service catalog model aligned to your org structure.
- Design and implement a scalable Backstage reference architecture (environments, auth, networking, and deployment strategy).
- Model and roll out your service catalog (entities, ownership, lifecycle, dependencies) and integrate documentation standards for consistent operations.
- Build and customize plugins, templates, and golden paths to automate scaffolding, onboarding, and common delivery workflows.
- Integrate Backstage with CI/CD and GitOps practices, including Terraform for IaC-driven provisioning and repeatable environments.
- Implement security and compliance guardrails (RBAC, auditability, secrets handling, and policy controls) to reduce risk while accelerating delivery.
- Optimize performance and cost through right-sized infrastructure, caching strategies, and operational runbooks for reliable day-2 operations.
- Instrument the portal with observability (metrics, logs, traces) and SLO-oriented monitoring to improve reliability and troubleshooting.
- Enable teams with hands-on training, documentation, and operating models so platform and product teams can sustainably own and evolve Backstage.
