Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Backstage Catalog Backend Module for Hetzner

The Hetzner Cloud Catalog Backend Module is a Backstage backend module that connects to the Hetzner backend plugin to automatically discover and import Hetzner Cloud resources into the catalog. It creates entities for servers, volumes, and primary IPs, enabling centralized visibility of your Hetzner infrastructure within Backstage.

Table of Contents

Features

This backend catalog module provides the following key functionalities for Backstage:

  • Entity Creation for Backstage Catalog: Automatically discovers and creates entities for Hetzner Cloud resources (such as servers, volumes, and primary IPs) in the Backstage catalog.
  • Resource Synchronization: Periodically fetches the latest state of Hetzner Cloud resources and keeps the Backstage catalog up to date.
  • Custom Metadata and Annotations: Enriches catalog entities with Hetzner-specific metadata and annotations for better traceability and management.
  • Extensible Resource Support: Easily extendable to support additional Hetzner Cloud resource types as needed.

Dependencies

1. Hetzner Backend Plugin

The main Hetzner backend plugin provides the API endpoints and backend logic for Hetzner Cloud integration.
Repository:
Backstage Plugin Hetzner Backend

2. Frontend Plugin (Optional)

An optional frontend plugin is available for integrating with the backend plugin. The frontend plugin provides a user interface in Backstage to visualize Hetzner Cloud resources. It includes:

  • Hetzner Cloud Page: An overview of the Hetzner Cloud platform.
  • Hetzner Resource Card: A card component that displays detailed information about a specific Hetzner Cloud resource directly within the entity page in the Backstage catalog.

The frontend plugin can be found at:

Backstage Plugin Hetzner

Alternatively, you can create your own frontend plugin to suit your specific needs. The backend plugin is designed to support custom frontend implementations, so installing this provided frontend plugin is not mandatory.

However, it is strongly recommended to either install the provided frontend plugin or create your own. Without a frontend plugin, you will not have a user interface in Backstage to visualize Hetzner Cloud resources, which significantly limits the usability of this backend plugin. A frontend plugin is essential for providing insights into your Hetzner Cloud infrastructure and enabling effective management of your resources.
