Lightning Talk: Building and Contributing Our First Plug-In at TELUS

on YouTube ↗05m

" summary

TELUS builds and contributes a Dynatrace plugin for Backstage that surfaces recent performance anomalies and synthetic monitoring tied to a Software Catalog entity. Development follows the contribution guide, uses Backstage Storybook for UI mockups and the Backstage backend proxy to fetch Dynatrace APIs, then submits a PR after legal and Dynatrace logo clearance. The PR merges, the plugin lands in the marketplace and is used internally with follow-up feature ideas.
