Atlas Camp 2025: Innovation and opportunities for the Atlassian ecosystem
From February 3 to 7, Brussels became the global hub of innovation as it hosted Atlas Camp 2025, Atlassian’s premier annual event for developers and partners. As an Atlassian Platinum Partner, knowmad mood was on-site to gain exclusive insights into the latest advancements that will shape the future of the Atlassian ecosystem.
For those unfamiliar with Atlas Camp, it’s the ultimate gathering for Atlassian’s developer community—where cutting-edge trends in product extensibility, Marketplace growth, and digital transformation take center stage. This year’s hot topics included the migration from Connect to Forge, the transition from Data Center to Cloud, and the adoption of Atlassian’s groundbreaking System of Work framework.
System of Work: the future of business efficiency
Did you know that Fortune 500 companies lose over 25 billion hours annually due to inefficiencies and misaligned workflows? Atlassian has the answer: System of Work, a methodology refined over 20 years to bridge the gap between technology and business, driving collaboration, productivity, and innovation.
Three core pillars of the System of Work:
- Aligning work with strategic objectives.
- Planning and tracking work seamlessly across teams.
- Leveraging collective knowledge to drive smarter decisions.
Powered by Atlassian Cloud, this system delivers a fully integrated experience, combining a robust suite of applications, the Teamwork Graph (an intelligent data layer), and an enterprise-grade infrastructure designed for security and scalability.
To bring this vision to life, apps play a pivotal role—and Atlassian is doubling down on its developer platform: Forge.
Forge: The future of Atlassian Cloud developmet
One of the most anticipated announcements at Atlas Camp 2025 was the evolution of Forge, Atlassian’s cloud development platform. With the official end of support for Atlassian Connect in Cloud on January 6, Forge is now the go-to framework for building secure, scalable, and high-performance apps in the Atlassian ecosystem.
Key updates in Forge
- Long running tasks: Processes can now run for up to 15 minutes instead of just 50 seconds.
- Forge SQL Storage: A new relational database system for more advanced data handling.
- Confluence Bodied Macros: Expanded capabilities for Confluence app development.
What’s Coming Next in Forge?
- User impersonation: Apps will be able to execute actions on behalf of users.
- Pricing flexible: Developers will no longer need to link app pricing to the number of users in an instance.
- App editions: Support for basic and premium tiers within a single app.
- Containers: Enabling complex workloads within Forge, with potential future support for additional programming languages.
In addition, Atlassian is introducing the “Runs on Atlassian” badge, certifying apps that operate entirely within Atlassian Cloud, eliminating external dependencies for enhanced security and performance.
