Scaling Forge Apps for High Data Volumes

In this post, you can find the resources accompanying my lightning talk for Atlas Camp 25 or watch the talk video below.

As Atlassian Forge gains traction in enterprise environments, the need for handling large data volumes—whether a growing list of Confluence pages or extensive Jira issues — has become critical. In this lightning talk, I’ll present key techniques for building scalable Forge Apps that gracefully manage these large data sets. Attendees will learn the essentials of API pagination, rate limiting, and Forge Async events, which collectively make scaling not only achievable but efficient.This session is presented by Shu Shen, CTO and Co-founder at Opus Guard.
