Roadmap¶
This roadmap organizes platform improvements into three time horizons: what we're actively building now, what's clearly next, and what's on the radar for later. Each initiative ties back to our platform principles: speed-to-value, proven patterns, leverage over invention, team autonomy, zero-trust architecture, local-first orchestration, and platform as a product.
🚀 Now¶
Currently in active development - Well-defined initiatives with clear scope and committed resources.
Configuration Generation¶
Generate app settings and security configuration from Aspire AppHost, stored in YAML files. Enables declarative configuration management and reduces manual setup errors.
Objective: Speed-to-Value Status: Experimental - Prototype available in Foundry
Feature Flags with Managed Service¶
Feature flag support using a managed service (evaluating Azure App Configuration and LaunchDarkly), with state stored separately from application infrastructure code.
Objective: Team Autonomy Status: In Development - Proposal submitted to Architecture Review Board (ARB)
📋 Next¶
Up next once Now items complete - Broad direction with less detail, may shift based on Now learnings.
Enhanced Terraform Code Generation¶
Improved infrastructure-as-code generation from Aspire AppHost with better module composition and resource mapping.
Objective: Proven Patterns
Oracle Entra ID Authentication¶
Full support for Microsoft Entra ID authentication with Oracle databases. Completes the Okta-to-Entra migration for internal authentication.
Objective: Zero-Trust Architecture
🔠Later¶
On the horizon - High-level problems we want to solve, solutions still being explored.
Configuration Deployment Pipeline¶
Pipeline support for deploying app settings, feature flags, and secrets from Azure DevOps Library to target environments. Extends configuration-as-code to runtime configuration.
Objective: Team Autonomy
Local Authorization Testing¶
Test authorization policies locally with YARP proxy support. Enables full end-to-end testing without external dependencies.
Objective: Local-First Orchestration
DORA Metrics Integration¶
Track deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, and recovery time. Provides visibility into delivery performance.
Objective: Team Autonomy
Internal Developer Portal¶
Centralized platform for discovering services, APIs, documentation, and platform capabilities. Provides a unified interface for understanding the application landscape and accelerating onboarding.
Objective: Team Autonomy
✅ Delivered¶
Recently completed initiatives - Moved from active development to production.
GitHub Repository Migration¶
Migrated the Forge platform repository from Azure DevOps to GitHub. Enabled automated issue triage and pull request reviews using GitHub Agents.
Objective: Team Autonomy Status: Delivered
Corporate Entra ID Migration¶
Migrated corporate authentication from Okta to Microsoft Entra ID. Consolidated identity management on Microsoft's platform with seamless Azure service integration.
Objective: Zero-Trust Architecture Status: Delivered
See individual release notes for all features delivered in past releases.
About This Roadmap
This roadmap focuses on outcomes over output. Items are prioritized based on:
- Business objectives - Which platform principle does this advance?
- Problem certainty - How well do we understand the problem?
- Solution clarity - How clear is the implementation path?
Items move from Later → Next → Now as we gain clarity and confidence. Timeframes are intentionally flexible to allow for discovery and iteration.
