RHDH Plugins for Red Hat Developer Hub
Boost developer productivity to new heights with a Backstage-based internal developer portal built for enterprises.
Red Hat Developer Hub (RHDH) supports a wide range of plugins that extend and enhance the development experience for developers and enterprise customers. By offering a broad selection of plugins, developers can effortlessly streamline their workflows, boost productivity, and unlock new capabilities within their Internal Developer Platform (IDP).
Developers can access tools and extensions tailored to their needs through the Extension marketplace found in RHDH. There are three plugin categories available: Red Hat-supported plugins, Certified plugins (Enterprise partner-supported and RHDH compatible), and popular community-supported plugins. Many plugins are bundled with RHDH in the container image, but some are available separately. You can also integrate custom plugins into RHDH or convert additional static Backstage plugins into RHDH’s dynamic plugins format.
To see which plugins are available in RHDH, you can see our documentation or use the extensions plugin to browse available plugins. Below, you’ll find several popular plugins, which include Red Hat, Certified, and community plugins. This list was last updated for RHDH 1.8.
