Wow, now we need to migrate to the cloud... and have requests take like 5 times longer?<p>That will be the time where I‘ll migrate of Atlassian products ro something else. No way I‘m going to use a cloud-product that is that slow.<p>What are good alternatives to Jira, Bitbucket and Confluence?
I’m sure there will be negative comments in here regarding this move.<p>As someone who has administered Jira, I wouldn’t wish that task on anyone.<p>It’s a nightmare of undocumented quirks and issues.<p>I don’t know if any business of any size can justify self-hosting it.<p>If you think this is some sort of big loss for small businesses and bootstrappers...not really. You don’t need nearly any of the Atlassian suite until you’ve become big enough to have middle management breathing down your neck about story points.
Based on what a friend said to this news, the big organisations will just pay for the premium server products, while the smaller businesses will go use the SaaS offerings.<p>Even so there will be some opportunity for a savvy business to come in and offer a compelling self hosted product. Though the big question is if the costs of supporting many small businesses self hosting this software be worth what they are willing to pay for it.<p>The other key feature that will be required is easy importing of Atlassian data to these self hosted solutions.
