Forge is our preferred platform for building apps. It’s designed to revolutionize how Atlassian cloud products are customized, extended, and integrated.

You can write an app in minutes while the platform takes care of security, compute, and storage.

In 2024, Forge hosted storage will automatically include data residency. This means that all app data in Forge hosted storage will inherit data residency, in all current and future Atlassian-supported regions.

This implementation will provide your customers with greater control over their app data’s location. For more information, read this announcement.
