Backstage is an UI//frontend framework, not a delivery tool by itself

Thank you for the video! 
I am aware that it’s a framework to centralise the services developers use. I wanted to see if it’s possible to use its template feature to trigger a deployment pipeline provided the GitHub link, then monitor it and so on using backstage plugins. 

Would it make sense to use templates to trigger the deployments in this case?

Thank you so much :) since I am new in the field, I think this gives me a bit of confidence to go down the road of trying to use backstage to achieve something like that. I appreciate the help really.
