Migrate to Spotify Portal without disruption

Spotify Portal is the SaaS, Spotify-managed edition of Backstage, built and operated by the same engineers who created and open sourced Backstage.

Get started

Accelerate developers without managing infrastructure full-time

We handle the migration and the unglamorous operational work, so your platform team can stay focused on building new developer experiences and adopting the capabilities Spotify uses internally.

Backstage without the maintenance

Running Backstage at scale is hard: upgrades break, plugins drift, and security patches never stop. Spotify Portal handles it, so your team can focus on higher-impact work.

Get started

🚀 Upgrades on autopilot

Always aligned with upstream open source Backstage

🛠️ No infrastructure to run or scale

We handle reliability, security, and availability

👷 Stable by design

No breaking changes, no fire drills, no rollbacks

Your platform, professionally operated

Spotify Portal is run in a dedicated single-tenant environment, so your plugins and integrations work as expected.

We migrate what you already have into a supported setup — you keep your platform team, just not the burden of running the platform.

Try Portal

Custom plugins stay first-class

Your plugins remain real, versioned code that you own, not extensions trapped behind a UI.

Portal Studio as your foundation

We migrate your existing custom plugins into your private Portal Studio mono-repo, giving you a clean, supported home going forward.

Same flexibility, fewer pitfalls

You keep control over how your platform evolves, without carrying infra, upgrade, or compatibility risk.

What the migration actually looks like

Our engineers do the heavy lifting across each step. Your team stays productive and can start focusing on what’s next, not the migration itself.

Identity & access (foundation)

We set up SSO, teams, and users so Portal reflects your org from day one.

IDP integration
Team and ownership mapping
Access validated early to avoid surprises

Catalog import & alignment

We migrate your Backstage catalog and connect it to your identity model.

Services, APIs, components, data, and metadata preserved
Ownership and relationships maintained
Familiar experience the first time engineers log in

Open-source plugin configuration

We port and validate the open-source plugins you already rely on.

Plugin configs migrated from your OSS
BackstageIntegrations tested (CI/CD, SCM, cloud, observability, etc.)
Gaps flagged early with clear remediation paths

‍

Secure connectivity (Private Connect)

Need access to tools behind your firewall? We set up Portal Private Connect.

Deploy a secure, scoped agent
Whitelist only the network access you explicitly approve
Validate connectivity end-to-end

Custom plugin migration

We migrate your custom plugins into Portal Studio.

Plugins extracted from your existing Backstage repo
Moved into your private Studio mono-repo
Built, deployed, and validated in Portal

Clear ownership, no lock-in

Spotify Portal stays aligned with open source Backstage, so you always retain an exit path.

You own:

Plugins and source code
Catalog and data
Integrations and identity model

We own:

Infrastructure and scaling
Upgrades and compatibility
Security, reliability, and availability

What your team can focus on instead: “The Spotify Way”

While we handle migration and operations, your team can start adopting the same tools we use internally at Spotify without waiting for the move to finish.
