I suppose that you are a user of Backstage and have your own templates that automate some repetitive and/or complicated flows of your organization. Some of your templates take a long time to be executed. For example, you provision your infrastructure, and your template guards the process along the way. Now, you are happy that you provided your engineers with these templates to lessen their burden, but you have to be careful with redeploying Backstage because you might fail ongoing tasks and make your engineers angry.

Here, I’ll explain what actions you can follow from release v1.23.0-next.0 to make your templates resilient to redeployment or any accidental server failures.

The Metaverse promises a new kind of internet capable of integrating real-world events and online sources into a seamless user experience. While it's often billed as 'just' a VR concept to users, it's something far more complex and interesting to technology companies and developers with an eye on the future.

The concepts offered as part of the Metaverse's future offerings could solve some of the web's biggest challenges. Improved interactions, identity verifications, and transactions that span both virtual and physical worlds will change how we think about the web from the ground up. However, each of these tasks raises enormous practical challenges for the designers, developers, and engineers tasked with building it.
