Applassian: How Atlassian supports our customers through Marketplace apps

[#1]

Atlassian’s Marketplace features over 3,500 apps to help increase the functionality, flexibility, and extensibility of your Atlassian products. If your team has a need, we have the app for them.

With such a diverse set of teams, companies, and industries using our products it would be impossible for us to build every app in the Marketplace—which is why we’ve chosen to help our customers by fostering a thriving ecosystem of developers and vendors. Most of these vendors only build apps for Atlassian products, meaning as a customer you're their top priority for support, performance, and functionality of the tools you use most.

We know how large of an impact apps can have on your business. As Twilio engineer Dominique DeGuzman noted, “Using the Atlassian Marketplace, we’ve automated cumbersome steps and shaved days off our development cycle.”

Because of this, we wanted to highlight some of the ways Atlassian is supporting your business by investing in the apps and vendors that you rely on every day. 

AtlasCamp

You’ve probably heard of Summit, our annual user conference and biggest global event of the year where we provide training, showcases, and presentations focused on leveling up your product skills. Did you know we do the same thing for developers?

AtlasCamp is an annual developer-focused conference which kicks off immediately after Summit. During AtlasCamp, hundreds of developers team up to enhance their skills, build successful apps, and network with the Atlassian developer community.

App Week

App Weeks (formerly known as Connect Weeks) are even more intimate events. Essentially a weeklong hackathon, we connect Atlassian engineers, product teams, and developers face-to-face with our vendors and solutions partners. This 1:1 access provides unprecedented improvement, innovation, and feedback between Atlassian’s customers, core products, and apps.

In the past 2 years, over 200 apps have been built, tested, and approved for the Atlassian Marketplace that were developed at App Weeks specifically to meet our customer's needs. 

App Week: Data Center

This quarter, 74 app vendors met with 32 Atlassians in Amsterdam to focus on one thing: apps for Data Center. During the week we conducted 20+ focus groups, expert speaker presentations and one-to-one collaboration in order to improve the apps you love most.
