Hi All Hope all are doing fine While trying to setup an internal developer portal for an internal developer platform using open source tools (as our org has an OSS first tool policy ) I checked with those who have already implemented the same and many people who implemented backstage as int dev portal told that over the time it would require a small typescript/js dev team to manage , debug and create customisations for backstage . Any solution for this - any plugin to manage this without typescript developers (who are difficult to get ) or any open source alternatives for internal developer portal ?

check this one: https://openmfp.org/

I'm not sure that something like this will replace what is available through Backstage. Looks like you would probably need to implement all kinds of plugins that are just available from the Backstage community. And, Backstage already has a pluggable frontend including the ability to present micro frontends. Backstage is more than just a UI...there is a whole data layer that is compiled through autodiscovery. You'd have to reimplement that as well.

Thanks for all responses . Is there any tool that can be setup and can be managed without dedicated dev team ( like Argo Cd can be setup and managed for the CD tool by devops team themself without requiring any dedicated JS/TS devs) ?

https://cnoe.io/ is good

It uses backstage for idportal

Managed Backstage is an option if you don't want to maintain it long-term. • Roadie do it (disclaimer: I work for Roadie 😅) https://roadie.io/ • And Spotify launched an offering last year: https://backstage.spotify.com/products/portal/
