Doing nothing isn’t an option anymore.
Jira Data Center has a real end date, and ignoring it doesn’t make the work go away — it just pushes the pain further down the road.
This article is about what this moment really means for Jira admins, why “lift and shift” thinking falls apart fast, and how to start planning without overreacting.
If you own Jira, this is a conversation worth having now, not in 2028.
Atlassian is ending Data Center, with full shutdown in Mar 2029, and many customers face more than a few hurdles before then. While Cloud offers growth and new features, the transition will be tough for admins and partners, even as migration demand brings fresh opportunities.
Atlassian DC prices are going up. It’s not news at this point. It was even leaked on Reddit late last year (and the post has since been deleted).
