Introducing group sharing: get everyone in one fell swoop
Sharing is great – but we all know how awkward it is when we forget to include someone. We’ve all done it, whether it’s forgetting to invite your boss to grab drinks or forgetting to invite your cousin to your wedding. It turns out, the same problem happens with sharing in Confluence, too. Until now. You […]
Atlassian new hires help students rise
We launched our New Hire Foundation Day – and it was awesome! Earlier this year, the Atlassian Foundation awarded four grants to San Francisco Bay Area non-profits transforming the lives of students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Students Rising Above is one of the four grant recipients we believe best supports the Atlassian Foundation vision of giving […]
Double feature – AUI 5.2 and Design Guidelines 1.2 released
Since day one the Atlassian Design Guidelines (ADG) has been built using the Atlassian User Interface (AUI) library.

Today we’ve teamed up and coordinated a joint release to make […]

If you missed the live broadcast, you can check out the recording […]
Getting More Out of Jira with Interactive Visualizations
This guest post comes courtesy of Andrew Mottaz, part of the team behind Protoshare and their new add-on in the Atlassian Marketplace, Protoshare for Jira.

Stash 2.6: Fork synchronization, audit logs and repository quick-search
Developers are always seeking “the flow” because they know interruptions are focus killers. Most developers we know want to come into work and build cool stuff with clean code. What don’t they want to spend time on? Manually synchronizing a forked repository, or playing tug-of-war with IT over permissions to access server logs. Getting side-tracked with things […]
How Netflix scaled its API
When you think of scale, you usually think of adding more servers. But at Netflix, a “cloud-native” company fully hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS), you won’t find a huge datacenter in the background. That’s nothing to sneeze at when you consider that the video streaming provider accounts for 33 percent of all Internet traffic in North […]
Profile photos matter!
Work, social? Software today is becoming increasingly social. At first, applications like MySpace and Facebook defined social media and social networking.

Because of that, many applications are now including social features to enhance the interaction between people through the software. The other side […]

Introducing Confluence Decisions: Decide faster, record forever
We make countless decisions every day at work. Most decisions aren’t easy since they often require input from multiple stakeholders. Think about how you normally make decisions at work – do long meetings, endless email threads, and numerous interruptions ring a bell? They all have pitfalls. Productive teams leverage collective knowledge to reach decisions without wasting […]
Bamboo 5 Bridges the Dev-Ops Divide!
The arm-chair historian in me loves digging into the great rivalries the world has known over the years. Hatfields vs. McCoys. Elizabeth I vs. Mary Queen of Scots. Coke vs. Pepsi. Maybe what makes these epic struggles so fascinating is the fact that we software makers live in a world of (admittedly more banal) tug-of-wars […]

HTTP Client Performance – IO
Apparently, one of the unsolved programming problems of our time is making HTTP calls – at least, taken from the fact that new HTTP client libraries keep cropping up. Mostly, the focus is on new features, async APIs etc. But what about the actual IO part? Especially regarding performance? A rather specific case I’m not […]
