FrontStage
FrontStage - the Backstage alternative that runs on 1 GB RAM
What it does
Most teams don't need Backstage — they need something that actually runs on their infra without a dedicated platform team. FrontStage is a lightweight open-source developer portal: software catalog, service ownership, team pages — built on Python + YAML. No TypeScript, no React, no 16 GB RAM. • Runs on 1 GB RAM • DevOps-friendly stack • AI/RAG-ready YAML catalog • Docker Compose in 2 commands
