Build an AI-Powered Developer Portal with Backstage and .NET
The article outlines a guide for building an AI-powered Internal Developer Portal (IDP) using Backstage and .NET to solve the problem of outdated documentation. A .NET CLI tool scans source code and uses local AI via Ollama to generate service summaries without sending data over the internet. The solution automates catalog updates, ensuring accurate, real-time visibility into an organization's software landscape.
- ▪The guide targets platform engineers and .NET developers aiming to automate developer portal content.
- ▪The system uses Ollama for local AI inference, ensuring source code remains on-premises.
- ▪A .NET CLI tool extracts metadata and generates Backstage-compatible YAML files.
- ▪Backstage serves as the UI layer for browsing services, APIs, and ownership details.
- ▪The complete demo code is available in a public GitHub repository.
