applications like JIRA and Confluence. An add-on could be an integration with another existing service, new features for the Atlassian application, or even a new product that runs within the Atlassian application. You can also create add-ons for HipChat.

• Simply understood, Atlassian Connect add-ons are web applications. Connect add-ons operate remotely over HTTP and can be written with any programming language and web framework.
