Scorecards, scaffolding, fleet explorer, impact tracing. Built into the developer portal your teams already use.
Discovery at scale
A searchable registry of every capability in the Fleet, integrated with Backstage.
Backstage catalog
Auto-catalog capabilities from CRDs or Git repositories. NaftikoCapabilityCard shows topology, lifecycle, and stakeholders at a glance.
