Does this skill support frontend plugins?

No, this skill is strictly for backend plugins. Frontend dynamic plugins have different requirements like Scalprum configuration and mount points, which are covered by a separate skill.

What is a dynamic plugin in RHDH?

A dynamic plugin is a specialized Backstage plugin that can be installed, updated, or removed from Red Hat Developer Hub at runtime without needing to rebuild the entire application container.

Can I use this for the legacy Backstage backend system?

This skill focuses on the 'new backend system' because it is a requirement for dynamic plugin compatibility in modern versions of Red Hat Developer Hub.

What are the prerequisites for using this skill?

You need Node.js 22+, Yarn, a container runtime like Podman or Docker, and access to a container registry such as quay.io for publishing.

Which RHDH versions are compatible with this skill?

The skill includes compatibility mapping for RHDH versions 1.5 through 1.8 (and 'next') along with their corresponding Backstage versions.

API 开发

Scaffolds, implements, and packages backend dynamic plugins for Red Hat Developer Hub using the Backstage new backend system.

This skill provides a comprehensive workflow for developers to create and deploy backend dynamic plugins specifically for Red Hat Developer Hub (RHDH). It automates the complex process of version matching between RHDH and Backstage, scaffolds the initial plugin structure, guides implementation using the new backend system, and handles the technical requirements for exporting and packaging plugins as OCI-compliant container images. It is an essential tool for platform engineers looking to extend RHDH functionality with custom API plugins, Scaffolder actions, or catalog processors without requiring a full application rebuild.
