Atlassian moves Forge Containers into Developer Preview with metered compute and memory

Commercial transition

Previous stateThe 30 July record captured container compute and memory pricing as scheduled to begin on 1 August while the product had not yet reached the newly announced Developer Preview stage.
→
New stateForge Container services are in Developer Preview; usage is metered and billed under a reservation-based model at the current published compute and memory rates.

Who is affected

Forge app developers, Marketplace vendors and financial owners using or evaluating Container services in Developer Preview.

Action required

Treat Container services as a metered Developer Preview capability, model reserved compute and memory consumption, and monitor Atlassian for lifecycle or pricing changes before broader production commitments.

Evidence boundary

Developer Preview is not general availability. The listed USD rates have zero free allowance for the two container meters; taxes, currency conversion, negotiated terms and separate app licence pricing remain outside this record.
