Getting Started with Forge Container Service

Forge container service allows you to run containerized services directly on Atlassian’s platform, so apps benefit from Forge’s security, data residency, and Runs on Atlassian controls. Whether you’re looking to support long-running or resource-intensive jobs, use a wider range of programming languages, or bring existing applications onto Forge with minimal refactoring, containers give you more choice and flexibility. In this Dev Den, the product team will walk through what the container service is, how it fits into the Forge platform, and the kinds of use cases it supports. We’ll cover what’s available in the Early Access Program, who’s a good fit today, and what’s coming next. Bring your questions and get practical guidance on how to get started with containers on Forge. ⏳ Chapters 0:00:10 - Welcome by Danny Thompson and introduction of guests Bo and Joe 0:03:54 - What is Forge Container Service? 0:05:41 - Key benefits: Long-running tasks, language independence, and performance benefits 0:07:11 - Early Access Program (EAP) Details: Current capabilities, limitations, and resource 0:10:34 - What to expect when it goes to General Availability (GA) 0:12:38 - How to sign up for the EAP and where to find reference apps 0:16:02 - Architecture: Detailed look at container management and the runtime environment 0:20:13 - Demo time 0:22:30 - Manifest configuration 0:30:03 - Web Trigger Demo: Creating and testing a web trigger URL to invoke the container 0:38:23 - Local Development & Debugging: Using forge tunnel and hot reloading 0:43:39 - Offline API Access 0:49:15 - Blue/Green Deployment Demo 0:54:52 - Final Q&A & Closing Resources: * Sign up for the EAP: https://go.atlassian.com/forge-containers-eap * EAP docs: https://go.atlassian.com/docs-forge-containers?utm_campaign=dx_dev_den&utm_source=youtube&utm_content=forge_containers * Reference implementation: https://go.atlassian.com/forge-containers-app
