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 🙏

DX Backstage Backend Plugin

DX Backstage plugin to automatically sync your Backstage data to DX Data Cloud.

Setup

v2 of this plugin supports the new backend system first, and deprecates support for the old backend system which will be removed in a future.

  1. Install this plugin in your backstage backend —
yarn add @get-dx/backstage-backend-plugin
  1. Configure a proxy endpoint with the DX host and token found at https://app.getdx.com/datacloud/api_keys —
# app-config.yaml
proxy:
  endpoints:
    "/dx":
      target: ${DX_API_HOST_URL}
      headers:
        Authorization: Bearer ${DX_API_TOKEN}
  1. In your packages/backend/src/index.ts file, make the following changes:
  import { createBackend } from '@backstage/backend-defaults';

  const backend = createBackend();

  // ... other feature additions

+ backend.add(import('@get-dx/backstage-backend-plugin'));

  backend.start();
  1. Deploy your backend!

Configuration

Entity Filter

Optionally set catalogSyncAllowedKinds to only send specific kinds of entities to DX.

# app-config.yaml
dx:
  catalogSyncAllowedKinds: [API, Component, User, Group]

Schedule

You may optionally configure a schedule for the task that matches a TaskScheduleDefinition, only each key is optional —

# app-config.yaml
dx:
  schedule:
    frequency:
      minutes: 45

The default schedule in TaskScheduleDefinition format is —

| Property | Value | | -------------- | ---------------- | | frequency | { hours: 1 } | | timeout | { minutes: 2 } | | initialDelay | { seconds: 3 } | | scope | 'global' |

Application Id

Optionally set appId to distinguish multiple instances of backstage within DX. Can be any string as long as it's unique within your DX account.

# app-config.yaml
dx:
  appId: staging

Disable Catalog Sync

Optionally set disableCatalogSync to disable running the software catalog sync scheduled task.

This can be helpful for local development or when running multiple environments of backstage, such as dev, staging, prod.

# app-config.yaml
dx:
  disableCatalogSync: true
