### AI overview

This technical guide describes migrating a legacy internal service catalogue to the Backstage Software Catalog. It covers automated scripts for transforming and ingesting service definitions, adoption strategies, and cultural and technical challenges when introducing a modern internal developer portal.

### Source excerpt

TL;DR: As part of our efforts to streamline service management and improve developer experience, our engineering org migrated from a legacy service catalogue to the Backstage Software Catalog. In this post, I'll share what we learned from that journey --- including how to build an automated script to migrate services from an existing internal service catalogue to a modern internal developer portal (IDP) like Backstage. I'll also outline strategies to help drive adoption across your organization, along with tips for addressing both the cultural and technical roadblocks you might encounter along the way.

### AI overview

This article recounts a developer's journey from limited open-source experience to becoming a maintainer of the Backstage project. It describes learning Node.js, TypeScript, React, and Git; setting up Backstage locally with PostgreSQL and GitHub authentication; using documentation and learning resources; and making an initial pull request to fix broken documentation links.

### Source excerpt

My path to becoming a maintainer in the Backstage project wasn't paved with years of prior open source experience. As a student interning at Red Hat, I started with a relatively fresh perspective. This is the story of that journey - how I navigated the complexities of Backstage, with the support of its community, allowing me to grow and learn, and how open source can empower anyone to do the same. Whether you're new to open source or a seasoned developer, I believe you'll find something valuable here. For those just starting out, I hope this inspires you to take that first step. And for experienced developers, I hope this offers a fresh perspective - a look at how a new contributor navigates a complex project, and perhaps, a reminder of our own beginnings.
