Join us for a Developer AMA with Tim Pettersen

A significant enabler/accelerator for onboarding developers to a new project/platform is a fully functional CI/CD environment. IIRC a native CI/CD capability had been part of the initial vision for Forge, but didn’t make the cut, and hasn’t been mentioned (much) since.

In an ironic twist, the simplistic Forge and Bitbucket Pipelines example is in itself broken since May 2021, and most other Forge example apps don’t even use Bitbucket Pipelines in the first place.

Will Atlassian provide a better DX around CI/CD capabilities for Forge apps going forward?

  • By chance I just stumbled over Damien Lauberton’s recent and comprehensive blog post How to Configure CI/CD for an Atlassian Forge App while jotting down this question, and it has neither been announced in the community nor referenced from the Forge docs yet, maybe you could derive (and maintain) a tutorial from it?
