Custom Forge apps close that gap without creating a new stack to secure and maintain.
Book a Forge Assessment
See how it works
Forge apps run inside Atlassian. Same UI. Same permissions. Same data residency. Indistinguishable from native.
SOC 2, GDPR, and your internal policies are in the runtime. Teams that used to lose three weeks clear review on the first pass.
Rapid Deploy methodology. Fixed scope. Defined timeline. This is not our first Forge build.
One Atlassian-managed runtime replaces your fragile APIs, aging Connect apps, and undocumented scripts.
Every engagement is fixed scope and defined timeline.
Know what to build, what to buy, and what to retire.
Stakeholder interviews. Workflow gaps mapped. ROI sized. You get an executive-ready brief with a build/buy/retire recommendation your team acts on Monday.
Use-case shortlist (5–10 opportunities), reference architectures, compliance notes, T-shirt estimates, prioritized roadmap. Activities: Stakeholder interviews, system and workflow discovery, risk review, ROI sizing.
Prove it works before you fund it. Working prototype in your sandbox.
Know what to build, what to buy, and what to retire.
Working prototype in your sandbox. Tested against your success metrics. Ends with a demo day and a clear go or no-go.
Working prototype, success metrics dashboard, adoption plan, path-to-production checklist. Activities: Rapid UX flows, Forge event listeners, permissions modeling, user testing, demo day.
Same for Hardended. Tested. Documented
Hardened. Tested. Documented. Deployed with a rollout plan that has names and dates on it.
Production-ready app, full documentation, SLAs, observability dashboards, rollout plan. Activities: Hardening, performance testing, security review, change management, go-live support.
Better every quarter. No new headcount
Managed releases. Dependency updates. Incident response. Your apps compound value instead of collecting dust.
Use-case shortlist (5–10 opportunities), reference architectures, compliance notes, T-shirt estimates, prioritized roadmap. Activities: Stakeholder interviews, system and workflow discovery, risk review, ROI sizing.
Three ways to extend Atlassian. One has the lowest total cost of ownership.
Sandboxed runtime. Data residency by default.
Weeks. No infrastructure to build.
Scoped permissions. Atlassian-managed updates.
You maintain app logic. Atlassian maintains the rest.
Native UI.
Zero friction.
Your infrastructure. Your compliance burden.
Months. You host everything.
Self-managed. Manual update cycles.
You maintain the full stack.
iFrame-based. Users notice.
Fully custom. Fully your responsibility.
Months to quarters.
Full stack.
No built-in
governance.
Highest ongoing
burden.
Separate experience. Training required.
Three ways to extend Atlassian. One has the lowest total cost of ownership.
When an existing app fits but needs configuration.
When the requirement goes beyond Forge.
Salesforce. ServiceNow. Slack. The connections.
Forge is Atlassian’s cloud-native app development platform. Apps built on Forge run inside Atlassian’s own infrastructure, which means data stays within Atlassian’s trust boundary, permissions are scoped automatically, and there is no separate hosting to manage. For enterprise teams, it is the most governed path to extending Jira, JSM, and Confluence with custom functionality.
Connect apps run on your infrastructure and render inside Atlassian products via iFrames. Forge apps run directly within Atlassian’s sandboxed runtime. In practice, Forge gives you data residency by default, Atlassian-managed security updates, and a native UI that users cannot distinguish from core product features. Connect offers more architectural flexibility but shifts the entire compliance and hosting burden to your team.
A typical assessment takes one to two weeks. A proof of concept runs two to four weeks. A production build ranges from four to eight weeks depending on complexity. Rapid Deploy methodology uses fixed scopes and defined timelines, so both sides know exactly what the engagement looks like before it starts.
Forge runs inside Atlassian’s FedRAMP-authorized, SOC2-certified cloud infrastructure. Data residency controls are available by default. Your app inherits Atlassian’s compliance posture rather than needing to build its own. A compliance review is included in every Forge Assessment to map the platform against your specific regulatory requirements.
A use-case shortlist of five to ten opportunities, reference architectures for priority items, compliance notes, T-shirt cost estimates, and a prioritized roadmap. The output is an executive-ready brief with a build, buy, or retire recommendation for each use case. The goal is a clear decision framework, not a pitch for more work.
In many cases, yes. The assessment evaluates your current Connect apps and flags which ones are strong candidates for migration based on complexity, maintenance cost, and compliance requirements. Not every Connect app needs to move, but the ones that do typically see reduced maintenance overhead and a stronger security posture.
Forge has platform constraints, particularly around long-running processes and certain UI customizations. Those limits surface during the assessment, not after the build starts. When Forge is not the right fit, the recommendation covers alternatives including Connect, marketplace apps, or custom integrations. The assessment exists specifically so your investment goes to the right path, even if that path is not Forge.
