Backstage-on-Kubernetes

To run the Backstage on Kubernetes, we need to perform following steps.

Run Postgres

We are going to use Postgres Helm chart for deployment, it can be found here.

First of all we need to have create a values.yaml file with custom configurations.

global:
  postgresql:
    auth:
      postgresPassword: "backstage"
      username: "backstage"
      password: "backstage"
      database: "backstage"

primary:
  name: primary
  resources:
    requests:
      memory: 256Mi
      cpu: 100m
  persistance:
    enable: true
    size: 2Gi

Commands to deploy Postgres

helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami

helm install backstage-postgresql bitnami/postgresql --version 16.6.6  --namespace backstage --create-namespace  --values postgres/values.yaml

To uninstall

helm uninstall backstage-postgresql

Run Backstage

Following manifest file can be used to deploy the backstage itself on k8s.
