Feature Overview (aka. Goal Summary)

This is a spike to investigate the engineering requirements to support Long Term Support.  

Goals (aka. expected user outcomes)

The observable functionality that the user now has as a result of receiving
this feature. Include the anticipated primary user type/persona and which
existing features, if any, will be expanded.

The goal of this initial technical spike is to investigate the engineering requirements for providing Long-Term Support (LTS) for Red Hat Developer Hub (RHDH). This involves understanding the technical risks related to the language and framework dependencies (typescript, javascript, nodejs, python), technical dependencies (eg postgresql), integration with Backstage (eg new releases) and assessing the impact to the build and productization pipelines and the impact to customer's custom plugins.

Requirements (aka. Acceptance Criteria):

A list of specific needs or objectives that a feature must deliver in order
to be considered complete. If the feature spans across releases then good
to have scope for each release with acceptance criteria. Be sure to
include nonfunctional requirements such as security, reliability,
performance, maintainability, scalability, usability, etc.

Identify potential failure points and include an assessment of possibility for each scenario.

Out of Scope (Optional)

High-level list of items that are out of scope.

This is purely an engineering spike and focused on Engineering requirements

Customer Considerations (Optional)

Provide any additional customer-specific considerations that must be made
when designing and delivering the Feature. Initial completion during
Refinement status.

Documentation Considerations

Provide information that needs to be considered and planned so that
documentation will meet customer needs. If the feature extends existing
functionality, provide a link to its current documentation.
