Data Center approved apps
The Data Center approved apps program ensures
that apps are purpose-built to maintain consistent
performance, stability and security in enterprise
environments. Data center apps must pass a
150+ question architectural review and meet app
development and testing criteria. This includes
elements of how apps handle cache operations,
support required databases, implement locking
and availability in clustered environments,
manage event handlers, and more.
Performance at Scale
All apps are tested to perform
consistently in enterprise-scale
environments including 1, 2,
and 4 nodes.
Reliability when it matters
Critical issues are over 3X less
likely to occur when using a
Data Center app.
Simplified Licensing
Data Center apps follow the
same annual subscription
model as your Data Center
product and align with your
Data Center user tier.
93%
There are currently over 600+ Data Center
approved apps and growing fast. 92% of the
top 100 apps used by Server customers are
available as Data Center approved versions.
If there ever is an issue with Data Center apps, we have you covered.
Atlassian provides an app escalation channel to help with any
unforeseen issues.
