Easy Math Equations has moved from Connect to Atlassian Forge

Easy Math Equations for Confluence has been running on Atlassian Connect since the very beginning — its own Node server, its own database, its own uptime to keep. That’s now changed: both macros, Easy Math inline and Easy Math Equations (display mode), have been rebuilt on Atlassian Forge and the migration is live.

What actually changed

Nothing in how you use the macro. Same /math shortcut, same editor, same LaTeX syntax, same equations already saved on your pages — they all keep working exactly as before. What changed is everything underneath:

• No more external server. The old Connect app rendered equations on our own infrastructure. The Forge version renders entirely inside Atlassian’s cloud — your equation content never leaves Atlassian.
• Built for what’s next. Forge is Atlassian’s current platform for Cloud apps. Moving off Connect means Easy Math isn’t tied to a platform Atlassian is winding down — it keeps getting updates and stays supported for the long run.

Why this matters for you

The biggest practical win is the one we get asked about most: do equations ever leave Atlassian’s servers? Now the answer is simply no. Because the app runs entirely on Forge, it qualifies for Atlassian’s Runs on Atlassian designation — all processing happens on Atlassian’s own infrastructure, with no third-party hop in between. If your organization has data residency requirements or a security review process for Marketplace apps, this removes a question that used to need a longer explanation.

Do you need to do anything?

No. The migration carries your installation and license over automatically — there’s no re-install, no re-licensing, and no edits needed on existing pages. If you notice anything behaving differently, let us know.
