The Confluence Search Plugin, previously available, has not been migrated to the new Backstage Backend system. As a result, teams are unable to access Confluence content directly within the IDP, impacting productivity and ease of access to documentation.
Why It Matters:
Accessing Confluence content seamlessly within Harness IDP is critical for enabling teams to find documentation quickly and efficiently. The lack of this feature has been highlighted as a pain point by several teams, who now need to leave the platform to search for resources externally.
Request:
  • Coordinate with the plugin owners to assess the feasibility of migrating the Confluence Search Plugin to the new Backstage Backend system.
  • If external plugin owners cannot provide support, consider implementing an internal solution to restore this functionality based on team needs.
Impact if Addressed:
  • Improves developer productivity by centralizing access to Confluence documentation within Harness IDP.
  • Enhances user experience by reducing the need to switch between tools, keeping workflows streamlined.
