Introducing Gitpod's Backstage plugin

Gitpod has introduced a Backstage plugin to enhance the capabilities of internal developer portals. The goal is to improve developers' experience by reducing time spent on finding information and enabling them to focus more on delivering business value. The Gitpod plugin, when combined with Backstage, allows developers to launch fully-configured development environments directly from the portal, making it easier for them to explore APIs, build proofs of concept, and debug issues. This integration aims to improve adoption rates of internal developer portals and ultimately achieve better developer experience goals.
