Roadie

Roadie sells a hosted, Backstage-based developer portal and a newer Enterprise Context product. Pages here cover moving from Roadie to a Backstage portal you host and run yourself.

Roadie vs self-hosted Backstage

The same Backstage underneath, run two ways: Roadie's managed upgrades, plugins and support against hosting Backstage yourself, where you own upgrades, custom plugins, authentication and data location. Who each suits by team size and skills.

Migrate from Roadie to self-hosted Backstage

Moving from Roadie to your own Backstage: keeping catalog-info.yaml files in place, re-creating integrations and discovery, rebuilding scorecards and custom plugins, setting up authentication, TechDocs and search, and cutting over without losing ownership data.

Roadie cost vs self-hosted Backstage

Cost of ownership by component: Roadie's per-developer pricing, paid Scorecards and plan minimums, against hosting Backstage, PostgreSQL, upgrades every month, plugin development and the platform engineers who keep it running.

How to export your catalog from Roadie

Because Roadie's catalog follows the Backstage model, most entities already live as catalog-info.yaml in your repositories. This page covers finding entities created through the UI or API, exporting them, and what else to capture before the contract ends.
