Atlassian will stop selling Jira Server Licenses (atlassian.com)

So incredibly myopic. Atlasssian is "innovating" themselves into snatching failure from the jaws of success. Self-hosting has huge advantages in enterprise and secure environments. They're just throwing away key large customers, forcing them to share what could be confidential data on random cloud systems customers they don't own, and limiting customizations, integrations, confidentiality, scalability, and data protection.

And, there are now plenty of other self-hosted options to their bloated JVM, resource-hungry apps.

They just committed seppuku in many less-visible, but nonetheless important, use-cases in the enterprise space. What a shame.


Not just Jira, but everything. We've been running on the Atlassian suite for a decade and strongly prefer to self-host. This is, to put it mildly, very disappointing.


I find it exciting. Perhaps it is naivety, but I'm excited about the prospect of using other products in my large firm. The transition won't be easy but I welcome, with open arms, "Not Jira".

GitHub's enterprise people (and GitLab) are probably happy now.
