Forge Container services are now available in Developer Preview

Forge Container services are now available in Developer Preview. You can package your Forge app's backend as a container image to support long-running, resource-intensive workloads directly on Atlassian's hosted app platform.

Container services let you bring your own runtime and dependencies while keeping Forge's security and deployment model. They're eligible for the Runs on Atlassian program, including support for data residency.

What's new

• You can define a container service in your app's manifest.yml and deploy it alongside your existing Forge functions using the Forge CLI.
• Container services support any language or runtime that can be packaged as a container image, provided the image complies with the image security guidelines.
• Services are deployed across multiple Atlassian regions to support performance and data residency, with instances provisioned only in regions where your app is installed.

Get started

Usage of Container services is metered and billed. Container services use a reservation-based model. See Forge platform pricing for details, and review the available cost optimisation techniques to manage your running costs.

The Forge shared responsibility model has been updated to reflect the responsibilities that apply to apps using Container services. Review it before deploying to production.

See the Forge Container services reference for the full manifest schema, supported resource limits, regional behaviour, and image requirements.
