Driving Adoption by Generating High Value Notifications in Backstage
summary
Backstage notifications are a core subsystem with a notifications backend and front end, an optional signals backend for real‑time banners/toasts, and built‑in processors like Slack processor and mail to push alerts outside Backstage. Examples: announcements plugin sends broadcast notifications into a persisted DB and emits signals for live UI banners; scaffolder templates can add optional notification steps to notify template owners; Spotify uses notifications for migrations (soundcheck) and skill exchange. Demos show it working live; without signals clients must refresh to see updates.
