Many technical teams add LaTeX formulas to Confluence to document algorithms, research, or engineering processes. At first, the main question is: “How do we render formulas correctly in Confluence?” But once equations become part of your documentation, the question changes.
The app that renders those formulas becomes part of your infrastructure. And that means security, reliability, and long-term maintainability start to matter just as much as formatting.
When evaluating a LaTeX math app in the Atlassian Marketplace, it’s worth paying attention to a few important signals:
-
Runs on Atlassian – indicates the app runs on Atlassian infrastructure and keeps data within the Atlassian Сloud
-
Cloud Fortified – shows that the app meets additional standards for reliability and support
-
Bug Bounty participation – means the app is continuously tested for vulnerabilities
Beyond security signals, it’s also worth checking how the app performs in real documentation scenarios, for example:
We recently put together a practical guide that explains what to look for when choosing a secure LaTeX app for Confluence:
🔗 How to Choose a Secure LaTeX Math App for Confluence
In the article, we also reference LaTeX Math for Confluence, an app developed by our team that runs on Atlassian infrastructure and renders formulas reliably at scale.
What do you usually consider when selecting apps from the Atlassian Marketplace – security badges, performance, reviews, or something else?
Would be interesting to hear how other teams evaluate apps for Confluence.
