About Leaving Serverland

On October 16th Atlassian announced to the world, that sales of new server licenses will end on February 2nd, 2021 and that support will end on February 2nd, 2024 Prices will be raised (again), leaving customers with the decison where to go next and how to get there. Upgrade to Data Center? Follow Atlassian's accellerated journey to the Cloud? Move on by moving out?

Lots of questions, lots of technical and business issues, not only with the core Atlassian products, but with the myriad of Add-ons. So we decided to provide this forum for networking and discussion - including spontaneous one-to-one meetings - around this topic and combine it with our stop of the Atlassian Cloud Migration Roadshow.

We decided to use Hopin, which is a virtual conference platform, instead of just a virtual videoconferencing platform, like Zoom, allowing for multiple parallel panels sessions, a main stage, an expo and one-to-one networking. (Yes, talking spontaneously to each other directly via audio and video ).  

Poll: Where are you going to move?

It is still early days, with more than three years until server licenses are no longer supported. Still, we were curious about the current state of mind of our audience, so we asked: “Where are you going to move?” and we got 36 answers:

Cloud may seem inevitable, but at least in our small sample only a minority was sure about it.

Event statistics

This was a first experiment with this format - and a rather spontaneous one at that - but we were frankly overwhelmed by the response. 106 people picked up a “ticket” and 89 showed up.

Hopin is a bit of a data hog and you can find some anonymized statistics here:

Some Quotes from the Chat (anonymized).

We recorded our sessions about technical and business topics (s. below) and are working on a “best of” cut. Until then, here are a few quotes from the chat we thought were interesting.
