Intelligent Platform
for Engineering
Traditional IDPs organize. Shoehorn predicts, prevents, and automates.
Why Shoehorn
- × Organize what exists - Just a catalog
- × Manual discovery - Click through pages
- × Weeks of setup - Plugin hell & YAML maze
- × Manual configuration - Write manifests by hand
- × Requires platform team - Not maintainable
- × Reactive - Fix problems after they happen
- ✓ Predict & automate - Intelligent platform
- ✓ Proactive guidance - "We noticed..."
- ✓ 15-minute setup - Works out of the box
- ✓ 2 people maintain - Small team friendly
- ✓ Preventive - Stop problems before they start
- ✓ Backstage compatible - Zero migration required
Zero Migration Required
Already using Backstage? Shoehorn natively supports your existing templates and catalog files. No rewrite needed.
Native Support
- ✓ Software Templates - template.yaml works as-is
- ✓ Catalog Info - catalog-info.yaml auto-discovered
- ✓ No Conversion - Use your existing files immediately
- ✓ Run Both - Backstage + Shoehorn in parallel
Optional Migration
