When you install an app that extends Jira Service Management, the first question your admin should ask is: where does my data go? With Patcher, the answer is simple — nowhere.
What Forge is
Atlassian Forge is Atlassian’s own development platform. Apps built on Forge run inside Atlassian’s cloud infrastructure, not on a third-party server. Compute and storage stay within the Atlassian environment, in your region.
Why that matters
- Your data stays in your site. Patcher doesn’t copy your requests, comments or attachments out to an external service.
- Permissions are respected. Every feature operates within your existing project and request permissions.
- Easier security review. Forge apps declare their scopes and egress up front, so your admins know exactly what an app can touch.
What this means for a patch
Every feature on the Patcher list runs in place, on Forge. You switch it on, it does its job inside your cloud, and you can switch it off any time. No scripts to host, no data leaving home.
