Welcome to the DevTools backend plugin! This plugin provides data for the DevTools frontend features.
Here's how to get the DevTools Backend up and running in the new backend system:
First we need to add the @backstage/plugin-devtools-backend package to your backend:
# From the Backstage root directory
yarn --cwd packages/backend add @backstage/plugin-devtools-backend
Then add the plugin to your backend index file:
// In packages/backend/src/index.ts
const backend = createBackend();
// ... other feature additions
backend.add(import('@backstage/plugin-devtools-backend'));
Now run yarn start-backend from the repo root
Finally open http://localhost:7007/api/devtools/health in a browser and it should return {"status":"ok"}
