Komodor announced the integration of the Komodor platform with Internal Developer Portals (IDPs), starting with built-in support for Backstage and Port.

This new capability provides a single pane of glass directly within existing tools that allows developers to handle their applications on Kubernetes on a self-service basis.

With this launch, Komodor brings native day-2 Kubernetes operations management—monitoring, troubleshooting, performance optimization and cost management—directly into the developer workflow. This enables developers to gain a guided, intuitive interface to understand their workloads and take action without needing deep Kubernetes expertise. It also allows platform teams to deliver a turnkey Kubernetes experience within Backstage and Port that drives greater developer independence and improves service availability.

"Internal developer platforms have emerged to simplify software delivery, but Kubernetes remains a bottleneck that is complex, opaque, and disconnected from the developer experience," said Itiel Shwartz, Co-Founder and CTO of Komodor. "By embedding Komodor into Backstage and Port, we’re giving developers a secure and easy way to see, understand, and fix issues in their services, right from the portal. It’s the missing piece that makes IDPs truly self-service for addressing K8s issues."

Komodor acts as a Kubernetes abstraction layer for IDPs. It integrates seamlessly with Backstage and Port to surface relevant insights—such as health status, configuration drift, cost anomalies, and service dependencies—within the developer portal. When issues arise, developers can use Komodor’s AI-powered assistant Klaudia to troubleshoot and remediate problems quickly, without switching context.

Enhanced Capabilities for Backstage and Port Users:

- Kubernetes Workload Tiles: View real-time status of deployed services directly inside the portal

- Guided Troubleshooting: Receive step-by-step instructions to resolve issues with help from Komodor’s AI agent, Klaudia

- Reliability and Cost Optimization: Monitor performance, enforce best practices, and reduce overprovisioning across environments

- Role-Based Access: Provide developers with the exact level of Kubernetes access they need—no more, no less

- Fleet Management for Platform Teams: Enable teams to oversee multi-cluster environments from a central workspace

Komodor’s IDP integrations for Backstage and Port are available immediately.
