Why choose Facets?
Easy to set up and maintain
Backstage is powerful, but it’s a project in itself. It takes a
village to install, run, and maintain it. Facets provides you a solution that requires minimal time investment and drives real value from Day 1.
Focus on infrastructure provisioning
Backstage focuses on cataloging resources as opposed to a comprehensive architecture view, and automated
infrastructure provisioning provided by Facets.
24*7 Dedicated support
Although Backstage provides documentation and
community support, it lacks dedicated support and SLAs.
With Facets’ 24*7 dedicated support, you never have to
worry about things breaking.
Lower total cost of ownership
Backstage is open source, and hence free. But, a dedicated
team is required to use it. With Facets, 80% Ops grunt work is automated, and the total cost of ownership is much less than managing a solution in-house.
Wait, can Facets
really adapt to my unique infrastructure?
Yes. Facets is more than just a tool—it's a dynamic platform and a robust framework that's designed to be extensible. Your Ops team can always integrate new tools and services to cater to your unique business needs.
Benefits
Reusable
Templatize your architecture once and reuse it to launch multiple environments. No more mundane, repetitive tasks for your Ops team. They finally have time to work on qualitative tasks.
Well-Architected
Facets comes with well-architected principles and access to solutions with observability and security principles baked in.
Standardized workflows
Facets brings in standardization across all aspects – how you deploy, monitor, and access metrics – all of these are defined in a consistent way. Everyone speaks the same language and can easily comprehend their own and dependent services.
Auto-upgrades
Keeping infrastructure components up-to-date is crucial for security and access to the latest features. Facets handles this automatically, reducing maintenance overhead.
Because of Facets we have saved hundreds of person-hours and seen significant cost savings.
