Simple Tables and "Runs on Atlassian"
"Runs on Atlassian" is a key distinction for applications on the Atlassian Marketplace. It signifies that an app runs entirely within Atlassian Cloud's infrastructure, bringing significant benefits in security, performance, and data management. Simple Tables has been built under this principle, offering a trusted and integrated experience.
What does "Runs on Atlassian" mean?
This label certifies that the application uses native Atlassian technologies, such as Atlassian Forge, for its operation. Unlike "external connectivity" apps (Connect apps), which might rely on third-party servers, "Runs on Atlassian" apps execute within Atlassian's controlled and secure environments.
Key characteristics of "Runs on Atlassian":
Zero Data Egress: Your organization's data used by the app never leaves your Atlassian Cloud instance. It is processed and stored within the Atlassian ecosystem.
Inherent Security: Apps directly benefit from Atlassian Cloud's robust security measures, including encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (SSE-S3/FDE).
Optimized Performance: By running close to your data, these apps offer minimal latency and superior performance, integrating seamlessly with your Atlassian user experience.
Simplified Deployment & Maintenance: App updates and maintenance are managed by Atlassian, ensuring you always have the most secure and stable version.
Regulatory Compliance: They adhere to Atlassian's high standards for compliance and privacy.
Where does the Simple Tables app reside?
Simple Tables has been developed using Atlassian Forge, Atlassian's latest and most secure development platform for Cloud applications. This means Simple Tables is a perfect example of a "Runs on Atlassian" app.
Implications for Simple Tables:
Your Data Stays Secure: When you use Simple Tables in Confluence, all the data you manage (JSON, CSV, formulas, etc.) is processed and stored exclusively within your Atlassian Cloud instance. No external Simpleasyty servers are involved in processing or storing your data.
Native Integration: Simple Tables feels like a native Confluence feature, not an external tool. This is due to its build on Forge, which allows for deep integration with the user interface and workflows.
Reliability & Scalability: We inherit the Atlassian infrastructure to ensure Simple Tables is reliable, scalable, and available when you need it, even with large datasets.
Always Up-to-Date: Simple Tables updates and improvements are deployed directly through Forge, ensuring you always have access to the latest features and security enhancements without manual intervention.
By choosing Simple Tables, you not only get a powerful tool for managing data in tables but also the peace of mind knowing that it operates in a secure and optimized environment, fully integrated into your Atlassian ecosystem.
