Hosting request: Keptn Plugin for Backstage

[oleg-nenashev]

Feature Request

There is high demand for Backstage integration. See keptn/integrations#19. Recently @maurosala from the Kiratech team created a Backtrage Keptn plugin for integrating the tools inside the Krateo PlatformOps platform: https://github.com/krateoplatformops/backstage-plugin-keptn . It would be great to get it hosted in Keptn Sandbox so that it becomes a part of the Keptn project.

I support this hosting as Keptn maintainer

[christian-kreuzberger-dtx]

The linked repo is missing a LICENCE file

[jetzlstorfer]

good catch @christian-kreuzberger-dtx
in general I am in favor of having this as part of the Keptn Sandbox org!

[jetzlstorfer]

in addition to the LICENSE file, a CODEOWNERS file would be beneficial

[thschue]

As a Keptn maintainer, I strongly support this hosting when a LICENSE and CODEOWNERS file are provided.

I will create an issue template with a checklist later

I would like to suggest enhancing the given plugin with the following capabilities:

• reuse of backstage's component/service as keptn project/service
• enable backstage component-level CD integration using keptn and following backstage service/resource dependency graph

Open question: what should be backstage's resource object be mapped to at keptn? Maybe we should introduce a new object in keptn?

Please also make sure the LICENCE file fits the described LICENCE in package.json

Other than that, happy to accept the hosting request :)
