I’ve written a blog post on How to Integrate Terraform with Backstage for Self-Service:
A key element of a successful developer self-service journey is an internal developer platform (IDP). The IDP centralizes self-service workflows for building, deploying and managing software and infrastructure. It can visualize your environment and clearly show ownership of, and relationships between, different systems.
Backstage has become one of the most popular open-source tools for building IDPs. A common use case is to integrate Terraform with Backstage to enable self-service workflows for infrastructure. Users get a no-code experience for creating cloud infrastructure, while Terraform continues to manage the infrastructure underneath.
