Create Confluence Cloud 'test' servers where vendors can access platform builds prior to general deployment

Hi!

Solution:

Create and give vendors access to Confluence Cloud 'test' servers where builds are deployed to prior to their general release. I believe all Cloud vendors could peacefully co-exist on a few such servers.

The problem:

Increasingly code is being deployed to Confluence Cloud which is causing issues for (I think its safe to say) several thousands of customers. Only vendors seem to be able to find these issues as the platforms are not really dog fooded the way app vendors leverage them.

A few examples of pretty significant issues this could alleviate :

• CONFCLOUD-62749
• CONFCLOUD-64923
• https://ecosystem.atlassian.net/browse/AC-2483

These are not minor issues, rather blocker issues, unresolved for weeks causing major customer disruption, being unable to use critical functionality they depend on without warning.....though preventable.

This suggestion is made with the interest of giving vendors the ability to aid Atlassian in testing, supplement platform stability and most importantly increase customer joy.

If you're a customer or vendor and would like to increase reliability, stability and customer satisfaction please vote for this issue or offer even better solutions
