What is Flightdeck?
---------------------

Flightdeck is an API-first developer platform built on top of the open-source Backstage project. It is designed to streamline the development process by providing a centralized hub for managing software components, documentation, API specifications, and integrations. Flightdeck focuses on enhancing developer productivity by offering tools and practices commonly employed by platform engineering teams. It supports both SaaS and on-premises deployment, making it flexible for various organizational needs. With features like a secure tunnel model for accessing private infrastructure and custom plugin support, Flightdeck aims to simplify and accelerate the development lifecycle.

### How Arctir Manages Flightdeck

Arctir manages Flightdeck by leveraging a combination of open-source technologies and proprietary enhancements to ensure a seamless developer experience. The platform is built on top of Backstage, which provides a robust foundation for managing software components, documentation, golden path templates, and integrations.

Arctir enhances this foundation with additional features tailored to the needs of high-performing development teams. These enhancements include:

- **Community Plugins**: Arctir is actively engaged in the Backstage community, notably contributing to community plugin support. New plugins are continually add to Flightdeck for a frictionless user experience.
- **Secure Tunnel Model**: To ensure secure access to private infrastructure, Arctir employs a secure tunnel model. This approach allows developers to interact with Kubernetes clusters and other internal resources while simultaneously maintaining security standards.
- **API-First Approach**: Flightdeck has been designed API-first, enabling seamless integration with other tools and frameworks. No more "click ops". Users can manage Backstage with tooling that they are already familiar with.
- **SaaS and On-Premises Deployment**: Arctir offers Flightdeck as both a SaaS solution and an on-premises deployment, providing flexibility for organizations with different security and compliance requirements.
- **Continuous Updates**: Arctir continuously updates Flightdeck with new features and improvements, ensuring that the platform remains up-to-date with the latest developer tooling and practices baked-in.

By combining these elements, Arctir ensures that Flightdeck remains a powerful and flexible developer platform that enhances productivity and streamlines the complete development lifecycle.

### What is the mission and vision of Arctir?

Arctir's mission is to empower developers by providing them with the tools to be more productive and efficient. By focusing on developer-centric solutions, Arctir aims to streamline the development process and reduce the complexity of managing software at scale. No more getting bogged down in operational toil. Developers are freed to focus on creativity and innovation.

### A brief history of Arctir

Arctir was founded in 2022 by veterans of the cloud native and developer tooling companies, including Heptio, VMware, Red Hat, Kong and others. Developers are buried in complexity, but traditional tools, like wikis and spreadsheets, only compound the problem. Having witnessed, first hand, the pain that developers endure from misaligned or non-existent tools, we are focused on delivering real, lasting solutions that help developers make sense of their complete software estate.
