VERDICT

Should I use Developer?

Not disclosed - developer.atlassian.com

Depends. This is Atlassian's free developer documentation portal, not a product you buy — use it only if you build on Jira, Confluence, or Forge. Evidence was thin and noise-heavy, so confidence is low.

Confidence

Low. Based on 97 public sources; none were product-specific reviews of the Atlassian Developer portal.

Best for

  • Guess: Teams building apps on Atlassian (Jira, Confluence, Forge)
  • Guess: Integrators automating Atlassian workflows via APIs
  • Guess: Devs needing Atlassian API reference docs

Not for

  • Anyone shopping for software to buy — nothing to purchase here
  • Teams not using Atlassian products
  • Non-technical buyers wanting a tool, not documentation
  • Guess: Orgs wanting managed integrations (use Atlassian Marketplace apps)

Gotchas - check before you buy

Evaluate Jira/Confluence pricing, not this portal — real costs live there

Free Atlassian dev docs, not a product. Building on Jira/Forge? Use it. Otherwise skip. Thin evidence.
