All Backstage plugins created by Roadie.
A monorepo of Backstage plugins maintained by Roadie, covering integrations with AWS, ArgoCD, Jira, Datadog, GitHub, and a dozen other tools. This is the plugin collection you reach for when building out a Backstage developer portal and need production-ready integrations rather than writing them yourself. Roadie is a commercial Backstage SaaS, so these plugins serve dual duty: open source value-add and showcase for their paid product.
The AWS catalog provider collection is genuinely broad — EC2, EKS, RDS, S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, ElastiCache, and more, each with its own provider class rather than one god-object. The ArgoCD plugin was co-built with American Airlines, which means it's been stress-tested against real multi-cluster setups, not a toy demo. E2E tests use fixture JSON files and a real Playwright setup against a running Backstage instance, not just mocked unit tests. Changeset-based versioning with automated weekly dependency checks means individual plugins get independent releases without a monorepo release ceremony.
Low star count (342) relative to forks (476) is unusual and suggests a lot of people copy-paste rather than track upstream — that's a maintenance signal worth watching. Some plugins like Travis CI are targeting a platform most shops have already migrated away from; unclear how actively those are maintained versus kept alive for legacy users. The RAG AI plugin is listed in the README but docs are thin and it's hard to evaluate without knowing what LLM backend it expects or what catalog data it actually indexes. Being a SaaS vendor's open source portfolio means there's always a question about whether the self-hosted experience is a priority or just good enough to feed the paid funnel.
