Incentives
First we want to give user more control over presenting image attachments in Confluence Cloud. Second we took the chance to convert one of our server add-ons to a cloud based model.
What it does
The add-on provides gallery and slider macros to present your attached images.
How I built it
- We wrote a small framework which gives us the possibility to develop macros in a smart way
- On Heroku we provided an app for all add-ons
- Licensing is saved on Amazon AWS
Challenges I ran into
- Development of cloud add-on using Atlassian documentation ;)
- License mechanism with JWT
- Deploying and managing Cloud apps on Heroku and Amazon AWS
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
- Yes! This is our first add-on for Atlassian cloud :)
What I learned
- Handling Web Tokens using JWT and managing Atlassian Cloud licensing
- Cloud hosting at Heroku and Amazon AWS
What's next for Image Galleries and Slider for Confluence
- Present attached images of any content
- More macros to visualize images
