Red Hat supported and verified plug-ins let you extend the Red Hat Developer Hub environment into your configuration with confidence, eliminating compatibility and operational issues.

Dynamic plug-ins

Your development team can add, update, or remove plug-ins dynamically, eliminating the downtime associated with rebuilding or redeploying your Backstage environment. A unique feature on Red Hat Developer Hub avoids your development team downtime and ensures they are continually delivering without any interruptions or disruptions for all your projects. As part of the certified plug-in system they are validated to comply with standards and best practices around security recommendations to provide the runtime flexibility and quality assurance for a variety of integration needs.

Enterprise Role-based access control (RBAC)

Red Hat Developer Hub comes with unique capabilities to onboarding users to ensure they have access and privileges for the resources that matter to the team and to the systems at hand. A granular security permission ensures a robust access control in your organization.

Scalability

As an organization expands, the number of development teams and applications also grows, making managing infrastructure and maintaining consistency more challenging. Red Hat Developer Hub can enable organizations to grow by allowing new teams to onboard quickly and ensuring that all teams have access to the same tools and services.

Better configuration management via centralized repositories

Properly deploy proper and scheduled enhancements to gain commonality and synchronized access to the latest versions of functionality and documentation. This helps mitigate challenges typically associated with agile software development, such as continuous integration, test automation, environment configuration, version control, and more.

Self-service, with guardrails for cloud-native development

Get supported approaches to building service or software components, without distraction of the details of the underlying technology. Your team can focus on crafting innovative code—and not the underlying infrastructure.

Certified pipelines and GitOps plug-ins designed for OpenShift integration

Software Templates streamline the process of creating new resources, such as websites and applications, giving you the ability to load code skeletons, insert variables, and publish the template to a repository like GitHub or GitLab. Development teams can further accelerate efforts on top of Red Hat OpenShift, whether running on-premises, in the public cloud, or at the edge.

Fully integrated with OpenShift

Red Hat Developer Hub is fully integrated with Red Hat OpenShift using Operators and easy access to all technologies for application development such as service nesh, serverless, GitOps, distributed tracing, and many others.
