Hey,
Article 3 of the AI-Native IDP series is live:
AI-Powered Software Templates
Static templates generate the same project every time. You end up with 20 templates for 20 combinations of databases, auth, and messaging. Nobody maintains them.
In this article:
A single Backstage template where developers describe what they need in plain English
An AI service that turns that description into the right dependencies, config, and infrastructure
Every generated project includes a GOTCHA prompt — pre-filled and specific to that service
Custom scaffolder actions with Backstage 1.37's Zod-based schema system
The developer writes "a .NET API with PostgreSQL and Service Bus, JWT auth, deployed to Kubernetes" and gets a complete project with the right NuGet packages, Dockerfile, K8s manifests, and an AI-ready prompt.
