Atlassian will end Jira, Jira Service Management, Confluence and Crowd Data Center on March 28, 2029. New Data Center sales ended March 30, 2026, and existing customers can expand only until March 30, 2028. Bitbucket and Bamboo Data Center continue. The timeline, the options and the parts that make migrations slow.
From Atlassian's Data Center end-of-life page. Bitbucket and Bamboo Data Center are not affected.
Until the end-of-life date Atlassian continues technical support and critical security fixes. Extensions beyond 2029 are available only by exception.

Marketplace apps. Many server and Data Center apps have no cloud version, or a cloud version with different features and data.
Custom scripts and automation, especially ScriptRunner-style Groovy scripts, which do not move as-is.
Integrations that talk to the database or internal APIs directly.
Identity: moving from Crowd or LDAP to cloud identity with SSO and provisioning.
Data residency and compliance requirements, which need checking against Atlassian Cloud's options.
Atlassian Cloud: the intended path, with migration tooling and assistance from Atlassian.
Another product: GitHub Issues and Projects, Linear, ServiceNow or others, when the migration is a chance to consolidate tools.
Bitbucket and Bamboo can stay on Data Center; they are not part of this end of life.
