Backstage Self-Service Spacelift Template Provisioning
Self-ServiceBackstageSlackSpacelift
Flows extends Backstage's Software Templates with multi-step orchestration capabilities (conditional branching, human approvals), audit logging and 3rd party integrations. Exposing a Flow as a Backstage Software template is as simple as adding and configuring a Backstage Entrypoint block, removing the need to maintain custom Scaffolder actions or redeploying Backstage. See the Extending Backstage with Flows guide for a full walkthrough.
This Flow exposes a Spacelift Template deployment as a Software Template form on Backstage. Before the deployment is triggered, the Platform Team is asked for approval via Slack. After the resource is deployed, the details are sent to the requester in a Slack DM.
