What happened
DevDay: The Meetup was Atlassian’s refreshed virtual developer event held over a week with a packed agenda, starting with a 90-minute webinar on June 28, 2023. Close to two thousand developers worldwide engaged in presentations, partner sessions, and interactive workshops designed to boost their technical expertise across Atlassian’s ecosystem.
Keran McKenzie, Head of Product for the Ecosystem Platform, opened the event highlighting the top three priorities for Marketplace partners: building cloud-native solutions, investing in data residency, and attaining compliance certifications. The event featured eight workshops covering practical skills such as customization with Atlassian Forge and cloud app security.
Why it matters
The increasing demand for cloud-first development and stricter data governance frameworks places pressure on developers to rapidly adopt new tools and certifications to remain competitive. DevDay addressed these evolving priorities by equipping developers with actionable knowledge and hands-on experience.
By providing on-demand access to all sessions until late July and subsequently on YouTube, Atlassian ensures broader accessibility and continuous learning opportunities, helping developer teams keep pace with rapid changes in software delivery and security standards.
What to watch next
Developers and Marketplace partners should focus on deepening their cloud capabilities and aligning with compliance requirements as outlined during DevDay, preparing for upcoming updates in Atlassian’s ecosystem. Tracking subsequent Atlassian announcements on Marketplace development tools and certifications will be key for staying ahead.
Additionally, engagement with the recorded sessions and ongoing interactive workshops will enable developers to refine skills across Jira, Confluence, and Forge. Monitoring the Atlassian Developer YouTube channel after July 28 will provide a continuous stream of learning content supporting sustained developer growth.
