Does RHDH support the legacy Backstage backend system?

No, RHDH requires backend plugins to use the new Backstage backend system (backend-plugin-api) for compatibility with dynamic loading.

Is RHDH a fork of Backstage?

No, RHDH is an enterprise distribution that tracks upstream Backstage releases while adding features like a dynamic plugin system and operator-based deployment.

How does RHDH handle frontend UI configuration?

RHDH uses YAML-based wiring (dynamic-plugins.yaml) to configure routes, sidebar menus, and component mount points instead of requiring manual React code changes.

What is the primary advantage of RHDH dynamic plugins?

They allow for the installation, removal, and updating of plugins at runtime without needing to rebuild or redeploy the entire application container.
