Recently I reached out to you all and asked you to fill out a survey about what you might require to build your server app on the cloud and on Forge. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. We collected data on 356 apps, which is fantastic and is helping us better understand the blockers …

Thanks for sharing, @CaitlinMcCurrie ! Hurray for Bitbucket + JSM with Forge! Perhaps even PvA integration for Bitbucket+Forge apps?! Your friendly neighbourhood MP vendor :wink:

I think the reason that “observability” and “team ownership” did not come up is that the other concerns are earlier considerations. If Forge was more ready, then those two concerns would be higher up the list…

Thanks Jon. This was my suspicion, but good to hear it from the community

Thanks for sharing the findings, it is much appreciated. We often don’t hear what you learn after filling one of those out. I think @jbevan has it spot on. The things on the list are fundamentals. There is no point in building as a team if the host applications don’t support the capabilities you ne…

I agree 100% with both Jon(s). Observability and team development support are so basic and obvious concerns that everybody is taking them for granted - and nobody realizes that forge is so far behind on this since other, more functional concerns, are preventing vendors from even starting development…

[image] jmort: Forge should be something that vendors want to jump on and are thankful for, but the reality is it is yet another change we have to deal with. I think the scenario for vendors is worse than this. We’re getting signals from Atlassian that Connect is not being invested in, and wi…

Another blocker that wasn’t in the survey is app licensing. At the moment vendors have to add their own layers to handle customer licensing because there are way too many gaps. But at least with Connect apps we see the requests from the customers on our side, so we can block the access if the licens…

I have a HR problem with Forge, and a solution: It’s hard to appear sexy as an employer if we’re only using a proprietary JS framework. Doing React/SpringBoot/Hibernate was the sexiest thing at the moment (besides pure NodeJS), and our plugin’s core Java module was pretty awesome in our business (Re…

Remember that app migration survey? Here’s what we found…
