What problem does it solve?
This Skill provides a structured approach to migrating a Backstage app from the old frontend system to the new extension-based frontend system, covering the two-phase hybrid migration and the full migration of routes, sidebar, plugins, APIs, themes, and other app-level concerns.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Hybrid migration guidance to bridge legacy apps with the new frontend system during Phase 1.
- Step-by-step conversion of app root, routes, and configuration to enable automatic feature discovery and a seamless upgrade.
- End-to-end migration best practices for Phase 2, including APIs, themes, icons, translations, and entity pages, to fully adopt the extension-based frontend.
Quick Start
Begin by switching the app's createApp import to @backstage/frontend-defaults and enabling feature discovery to start the hybrid migration.
