Forge Migration for Elevatic Cloud Apps

Introduction

Atlassian is retiring the legacy Connect app development framework in December 2026. To ensure our apps remain secure, high-performing, and fully supported, Elevatic is proactively migrating our entire Cloud app portfolio to the Atlassian Forge platform.

This page provides an overview of our migration status, the benefits of Forge, and what you can expect as a customer during this transition.

Why are we migrating to Forge?

Forge is Atlassian’s modern, cloud-native development platform. By moving our apps to Forge, we provide several key advantages:

Enhanced security: Forge apps run within Atlassian’s infrastructure and use a "zero-trust" isolation model.
Data residency: Better alignment with Atlassian’s data residency capabilities, ensuring your data stays where it belongs.
Improved performance: Reduced latency through serverless functions and deeper integration with Jira and Confluence.
Future-proofing: Continued access to the latest Atlassian features and security patches.

Important dates

Please keep the following Atlassian milestones in mind:

September 17, 2025: No new Connect apps allowed in the Marketplace.
March 2026: No further updates permitted for legacy Connect apps.
December 2026: Official End-of-Support for the Connect framework.

What do I need to do?

In most cases, no action is required from you.
We are handling the migration on the backend. When an app is fully migrated to Forge, it will be updated automatically via the Atlassian Marketplace.

"Connect on Forge" means the app is already running on the Forge infrastructure while still utilizing some Connect components. This is a phased approach to ensure a seamless transition without downtime.

Frequently asked questions

Will there be any downtime during the migration?
No. We use a "Connect-on-Forge" approach that allows us to migrate functionality incrementally without interrupting your service.

Will my data be affected?
No. Your app data and configurations will remain intact. In fact, Forge allows for even better data residency controls in the future.
