🔌 Plugin: Prometheus metrics + analytics plugin

See original GitHub issue

🔖 Summary

Hey, and thanks for this great open source project!

We’ve been developing two simple plugins in-house:

A metrics plugin, exposing Prometheus metrics for Backstage and means for collecting arbitrary metrics
An analytics plugin, feeding tracking data (views) to Backstage back-end and exposing this as metrics

# HELP app_name_page_views Counts page views
# TYPE app_name_page_views counter
app_name_page_views{page="/api-docs"} 2
app_name_page_views{page="/catalog/default/Group/some-team"} 1
app_name_page_views{page="/"} 5

We can then visualize this with the Prometheus visualizer from Backstage.

Question: Is this something you’d be interested in us open-sourcing / contributing back to backstage?

@awanlin will do! I guess more and more people are in that boat, and it’s very nice to avoid the “roundtrip” to google just to get some basic usage metrics!
