TAS Developer Portal allows you to view applications and services running for your organization on TAS for VMs. You can view dependencies, relationships, technical documentation, and the service status.

You can now also configure branding, and store TAS Developer Portal settings to an external MySQL or PostgreSQL database for data persistence.

TAS Developer Portal is a tool for developers built from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation project Backstage.

TAS Developer Portal consists of the following components:

  • Your organization catalog: The catalog serves as the primary visual representation of your running services (components) and applications (systems).
