  Backstage is an open platform for building developer portals

  

If you read Backstage Software Templates maybe you noticed something called cookiecutter. So, what is it? Apart from being awesome, cookiecutter is a command-line utility that is able to create projects from templates. This allows us and our teams to specify templates for projects, use those templates and share them among teams. We can even embed it into other tools, like Backstage.
