Why would they continue with on-prem? It has to be a support nightmare.
Atlassian support has been decent to good and I’ve rarely had to even contact them, you could almost always find what you needed on the support site or via a search.
no amount of complaints from... everyone about jira/confluence being absurdly slow or horrible to use had any effect on my employer (large multinational) but their decision to abandon on-prem has resulted in the company migrating away from all atlassian products the best thing atlassian have ever done!
But they're not abandoning on-premise, though one could get that impression from the tone of the article. They are only dropping the small-business targeted Server tier, they are keeping the enterprise targeted Datacenter tier. It's pretty much a drop-in replacement, with extra capabilities. And annual payment instead of initial+upgrades payment.

They charge a lot for it, but the option is there.
Why? They probable have a bunch of large customers who will never accept going to a public cloud.
Reading this news makes me happy because I know someone somewhere is likely going to be have the chance to argue that it's time to migrate away from JIRA and Confluence. I personally they haveheld back nearly every organization I've worked for in some way or another over the last 15 years. These Atlassian products are the destroyers of enjoyment, satisfaction, project management and productivity. Issues I've encounte…

We're in the same boat. I brought Confluence into our org almost a decade ago — it was the best collaborative wiki tool at the time. Over time the price has increased while the quality of the tool has not kept pace with other options. This seems to be the trend as software companies grow into large "enterprise" providers. Looking at our Confluence usage over the years, I noticed that we use it primarily as a knowledg…
Could you share what markdown/git tooling you've identified?
MkDocs includes a utility to publish to Github pages but I keep my notes on a self hosted Gitea server and serve using "python -m http".

While Jira does many many things right, it is also horrible in so many ways. What options are you evaluating?
Despite the "Azure" name, Azure DevOps Server (formerly Team Foundation Server), is still a rock-solid on-prem system for git repo hosting, issues/stories/projects, build automation, and the rest - though I feel it has stagnated somewhat, and git integration still feels half-baked compared to TFS's previous SVN-clone, but is still my first-choice for on-prem installs (granted, I'm still wedded to the MSFT stack).
Last year I was second guessing myself if migration to Gitlab EE from Jira, Bitbucket and Jenkins would be worth it, as it was a massive shift for my org. Maybe purchasing a DC version of Atlassian products would be a better alternative, but after short look into invoices and licensing it was decided to go forward with Gitlab. Still not a big fan of how stiff Yaml pipelines feel in Gitlab CI and that tickets for what…
Are you using the docker executor, or Kubernetes? For Kubernetes, we found that GitLab has a tool that automatically does that: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ci-cd/gitlab-runner-pod-cleanu...

Atlassian stuggles with editors like no other company I've seen. I don't remember the last time I had a problem with an editor except for using any Atlassian product. Not sure what the fuck they do, but they really seem to have trouble with this aspect of their products. Which is ironic because their products are essentially CRUD products with a heavy emphasis on data entry. Like, if anything out their products needs…
I think it's related to how atlassian develops their products - they acquire then. Jira, confluence and Trello have three different editors because they're three different products developed by three different companies.

Not OP, but we moved to Gitlab Issues. Project Managers are missing some features, but the devs (including me) like it a lot more due to integrating so well with PRs/commits.
With devs and a premium tier, this isn't bad... but the "ok, we need to double the user count and move from premium to ultimate, even though most people are only looking for multi-level epics and the reporter role." That represents a significant cost increase.
Taking all the devs from $29 to $99 and doubling the accounts is a lot more than $15 per account (devs, ba/pm/mgr, business).
