Avoid Common Pitfalls in API Integration: Expert Insights
summary
Atlassian builds a hosted platform called Atlassian Forge that runs JavaScript functions on AWS Lambda to remove app infrastructure, abstract OAuth, and enforce network isolation via a VPC proxy and declared domain allowlists. Server support ends for some products on Feb 15, 2024, which drives migrations; the Marketplace has generated $3B in lifetime sales. Forge tradeoffs: simpler scaling and logs, harder to run local AI models, and migration friction for legacy web apps, yet 82% launched within three months of first creation.
