Buildkite Plugin

Introduction

The Backstage Buildkite plugin integrates with Buildkite to show your build information inside Backstage where it can be associated with your services.

Add Buildkite to one of your components

Add the Buildkite annotation

First, add an annotation in the catalog-info.yaml file for a service that uses Buildkite like so:

metadata:
  annotations:
    buildkite.com/project-slug: <buildkiteorganization/buildkitepipeline>

Add you API Key

You will need to create an API key for your Org in Buildkite with read permissions.

Then add it to Roadie via Administration -> Settings -> Secrets -> BUILDKITE_TOKEN

Add the plugin

In Roadie, find and select the service via the Component Catalog or Search.

Click the plus icon to add a new plugin for your component.

Select the EntityBuildkiteContent card from the drop-down and click Create.

You should now see your Buildkite pipeline runs inside Roadie!

You can then click in individual builds to see more info.
