Forge migration
What is Forge migration?
As you may know, Atlassian has mandated the migration of all apps from Connect to Forge. This requirement is the primary driver behind the changes we are implementing. This marks the first of many updates as we migrate all UpRaise app modules to Forge.
These changes will be completely transparent to end-users. You should notice no difference in how the app behaves. Behind the scenes, however, the backend will progressively transition from Amoeboids’ infrastructure to Atlassian’s server and database platform. This shift ensures that UpRaise apps meet Atlassian’s security, data residency, and performance requirements through the Forge platform.
From a customer’s perspective, one of the most important benefits of the changes in this update is that your app data will now reside fully within Atlassian’s infrastructure, alongside Jira and other Atlassian products. This ensures stronger security, improved compliance, and alignment with Atlassian’s cloud standards.
Looking ahead, Atlassian has indicated that the ability to choose your data residency location for app data will become possible. This will give customers greater flexibility and control over where their information is stored.
Migration to Forge is an elaborate activity that our team is actively working on, and we will continue to keep you updated as we make progress.
We hope this provides clarity on why these changes are happening and the benefits you can expect. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to Service desk, we’ll be happy to help.
Update your ARNR app to Forge (if not done already)
Navigation
As a Jira admin, navigate to Jira settings ( ) >> Apps >> Manage Apps >> Under User-installed apps >> Search for UpRaise app >> Expand the app section >> Click on the Update button
That’s it, just a few clicks and the app will be on Atlassian’s secure Forge platform!
Please note that this Update option is available for the existing users of the app who have installed the app beforeAug 6, 2025. If you have installed the app afterAug 6, 2025, you are on the updated app by default.
Please note, if you do not perform this 'manual' update for 'manifest' change, your app shall continue to work on 'Connect' platform as it is and won't shift to 'Forge' automatically. You will only receive the regular functional changes through cloud releases, but Forge-related future updates won't apply to your instance.
