This category is where we discuss Forge’s enterprise solutions: the tools, infrastructure, and approaches that help technology companies build extensible products, empower their engineering teams, and turn customer insights into better software.
Forge started as a hosting platform for developers. Over time, through our own work and through building for clients, it evolved into something broader: an extensibility platform that powers the systems companies need to scale their product development.
Today, Forge’s enterprise offering spans three solution areas:
-
Forge for Plugin Marketplaces provides the infrastructure for building and managing plugin ecosystems. This covers the full lifecycle: the SDK and developer tooling for building extensions, the runtime and sandbox for executing them safely, the governance and policy enforcement for reviewing and curating them, and the marketplace itself for distributing them to users. If you’re a SaaS or platform company that wants to enable third-party developers to build on top of your product, this is the solution.
-
Forge for Internal Developer Platforms helps engineering organisations create the internal tools and environments that let their teams ship faster without sacrificing stability. Think of it as applying extensibility principles inward: giving your own engineers modular, self-service capabilities that reduce friction and protect core systems.
-
Forge for Product Discovery Platforms brings extensibility thinking to how companies discover and validate what to build next. By creating faster, safer paths from idea to production, teams can run more experiments, gather signal from real usage, and make better decisions about where to invest.
These three solutions are connected. The same architectural principles that power a plugin marketplace also power an internal developer platform. The same rapid experimentation that drives product discovery is enabled by extensible, modular systems. Forge ties them together.
We use this category to share what we’re learning, discuss real challenges, and hear from people working on similar problems. Whether you’re evaluating extensibility for your product, building an internal platform, or trying to accelerate your discovery process, this is the place.
