Learn how to track, manage, and resolve technical debt across multiple resources in Amplication using Live Templates, Private Plugins, and automated updates.
Technical debt accumulates when services deviate from best practices, use outdated plugins, or lack proper governance. Amplication’s Platform Console provides tools to track, manage, and resolve technical debt efficiently across multiple resources. The Tech Debt Alerts page offers a centralized view of outdated plugins, versions, and necessary updates, ensuring all services stay aligned with organizational standards.
The Tech Debt Alerts Page provides a structured list of all detected
issues, allowing platform teams and developers to monitor and address
technical debt effectively.
Amplication provides multiple strategies to resolve technical debt across services, ensuring all resources follow best practices and stay up to date.
Centralized Governance with Live Templates
Enforce Live Templates to standardize service configurations, ensuring
all resources follow best practices and Golden Paths. Updates applied to
templates automatically propagate across associated services, maintaining
consistency and reducing technical debt.
Private Plugins for Best Practices
Use Private Plugins to enforce architectural guidelines, distribute
updates efficiently, and embed best practices across multiple services.
Managed in your own Git repository, private plugins provide full control
over service customization and governance.
Automated Updates and Notifications
Keep services up to date with the latest frameworks, security patches, and
configurations. The Tech Debt Alerts Page notifies teams when updates
are available, while the Platform Console automates update requests,
ensuring a streamlined resolution process.
Change Management Across Multiple Resources
Maintain visibility and control over updates by tracking changes applied to
templates and plugins. Preview modifications before applying them, ensuring
a smooth change management process.
