It's funny that they recently killed self-hosted Jira. If you'd self-hosted you'd be fine.

My company is in the middle of a multi year transition from selfhosting atlassian products to using their cloud offerings, and I am sure the infrastructure team/management is very thrilled to see this news.

For those of us not up to date, what exactly has happened? Their status page hasn't actually shown why they're having to rebuild.

We're using the cloud version and we're fine too (no outage). What's your point? Are you claiming that self-hosted is never down? Or that self-hosted is more reliable? Because I doubt that. Difference is just that when self-hosted goes down, it doesn't end up in the news.

I worked at a company that self hosted Jira, and it was miserable then, I can’t imagine depending on the cloud. I’ll never approve Atlassian products after that experience.

I think there is a strange psychological trait that I have, and others may as well, where I am much more forgiving breaking my own stuff than having someone else do it.

Most likely they wiped the data

Supposedly they’re having to basically restore everyone from backups because a system designed to delete old data was a bit more efficient than it should have been: https://reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/u14qqq/_/i4a0mk8/?con...
