Highlights

BREAKING: Backend System deprecations and removals

As part of the work towards a stable 1.0 release of the new backend system, there are several new deprecations and breaking changes in the backend system packages:

Breaking:

• The deprecated token option has been removed from PermissionsService, and the request options are now required and must contain a credentials object.
• The deprecated getPath option has been removed from httpRouterServiceFactory, the plugin paths are now always /api/<pluginId>.
• It is no longer possible to pass service factory callbacks to the defaultServiceFactories option of createSpecializedBackend.

Deprecations:

• The ability to define options for service factories through createServiceFactory has been deprecated. See the service architecture documentation for more information on how to define customizable services.
• The ability to install backend features in callback form, i.e. () => BackendFeature, has been deprecated. This also includes other usages such as startTestBackend, and dynamically imported backend features. No manual changes should be needed for this change, as all backend feature creators have been updated to return BackendFeature instances directly.
• The ServiceFactoryTest.get method has been renamed to ServiceFactoryTest.getSubject, and is now deprecated.
• The following types have been renamed to use an *Options suffix instead: ServiceRefConfig, RootServiceFactoryConfig, PluginServiceFactoryConfig.
• Deprecated all exports related to the legacy status checker in @backstage/backend-common.
• The isDockerDisabledForTests function exported by @backstage/backend-test-utils has been deprecated.

Backend Health Service

A new health service as been added to the new backend system. This service provides health check endpoints for the backend, and replaces createStatusCheckRouter from @backstage/backend-common.

The service helps implement the new /.backstage/health/v1/readiness and /.backstage/health/v1/liveness endpoints, which provide health checks for the entire backend instance.

You can read more about this new service and how to customize it in the Root Health Service documentation.

New Catalog Logs module

This new @backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-logs module is a minimal module that will log any error events that are published by the catalog. This module is useful for making sure that catalog errors are visible in the logs, but you may want to replace it with a more customized solution if the resulting logs are too verbose.

Updates to the @backstage/create-app template

New backstage projects created with @backstage/create-app will now include the Catalog Logs module for logging catalog error events, as well as support for the Postgres Search Engine.

Permission Policy deprecations

The PermissionPolicy interface has been updated to align with the recent changes to the Backstage auth system. The second argument to the handle method is now of the new PolicyQueryUser type. This type maintains the old fields from the BackstageIdentityResponse, which are now all deprecated. Instead, two new fields have been added, which allows access to the same information:

• credentials - A BackstageCredentials object, which is useful for making requests to other services on behalf of the user as part of evaluating the policy. This replaces the deprecated token field. See the Auth Service documentation for information about how to create a token using these credentials.
• info - A BackstageUserInfo object, which contains the same information as the deprecated identity, except for the type field that was redundant.

Most existing policies can be updated by replacing the BackstageIdentityResponse type with PolicyQueryUser, which is exported from @backstage/plugin-permission-node, as well as replacing any occurrences of user?.identity with user?.info.
