Introducing Adopting Forge from Connect (preview)

[SeanBourke]

Hi everyone,

We’re pleased to announce the preview availability of adopting Forge from Connect. We’ve published a blog post with more details available here.

Existing Connect apps now have a simpler, automated and incremental pathway to adopt Forge capabilities. This release includes:

• Automated tooling to support the conversion from Connect to Forge
• Support for immediate version updates of Forge apps containing connectModules
• Increased compatibility for the types of connectModules that can be declared within a Forge manifest
• Support for Forge Remote Compute (preview) in the Atlassian Connect Express (ACE) and Connect Spring Boot (ACSB) frameworks.

A quick plug, we’ll also be hosting an Atlassian Community Event session in the coming weeks, where we’ll walk through a live demo and take your questions. You can sign up for whichever time works better for you: the A session (optimized for Europe), or the B session (optimized for the US). The content will be the same for both broadcasts.

In the interim - if you have any questions, we are monitoring and responding to questions on the Adopting Forge from Connect channel.

A big thank you to everyone who joined our European session last week - there were some great questions asked in the Q&A.

A reminder that our second session which is optimised for the US and Oceania will be hosted tomorrow. If you’re interested in attending, you can still register here.

I managed to miss both sessions - are you going to share a recording and/or a summary of the Q&A?

Hey Steffen,

Those should be coming soon, I think, but in the mean time you can check out the demo app and have a read of the blog post and documentation linked in the original post if you haven’t already - also happy to answer your questions here.

Cheers,
Jimi
