As of October 1, 2025, Cortex will deprecate our Backstage plugin, and no longer be investing in new features or enhancements for the plugin. Our focus moving forward will be on Cortex as the primary Internal Developer Portal (IDP), where we see the greatest opportunity to deliver value and impact for customers.
The Backstage plugin will continue to be supported through version 2.13.3. We’ll ensure stability and usability for teams that wish to keep using it. No immediate action is required.
Future development will occur exclusively within Cortex as the IDP.
We’re here to help you understand the implications, explore Cortex as your IDP, or review other paths that best fit your team’s needs. Please contact our team if you’d like to discuss your options in more detail.
