If you are considering to migrate your Jira instance to Cloud we we would be happy to introduce our Release Management & Roadmap -Jira Cloud App. This post is mainly about “How to migrate?” and “What is the difference?” so you can make an educated decision.
Let’s start with so quick Q&A.
FAQ about Cloud App
Question | Answer |
|---|---|
Is it secured? | Yes, we are Cloud security Participant in collaboration with Atlassian & Bugcrowd where 300+ researches are continuously trying to breach our security. As a result of this effort and metting reilability and resilience requirements we are now Cloud Fortified by Atlassian. |
Did they find any vulnerabilities? | Yes, |
a number items were reported. All of them are fixed on timely manner. We have a practice in place to communicate within 48hours any P1 and P2 items found and our action to eliminate. | |
Where the data is stored? | Distributed cluster in two location in Europe (Germany, Finland). Also backups in AWS (Germany). |
Is it GDPR compliant? | We do not store any PII data. |
The biggest client tier using the App? |
5126 (as of |
Oct 29th, |
2022) | |
Is there any automation migration tool? | Nope, but there are options to automate migration though. See below. |
Functionality is the same or different? | Both. Core functionality is the same. There’s approx. |
10% deviation in features. Some are pending development for another App. Others - we do not have plans to migrate. See below. | |
Do you plan to abandon Server Apps? | Nope, not at all. We have single code base for Server and DataCenter and we actually keep on investing in the Apps as the segment is keep on |
stable. So, while Atlassian allows upgrade of Server versions … clients will be receiving the same builds we are preparing for DataCenter edition. |

Migration automation
As of now (Aug 8thOct 29th, 20212022) we do not have a tool for migration automation. We also do not have it on roadmap till EOY 2021. Up-to-date roadmap could be always found here at our Server or DataCenter Apps BIO @ Atlassian Marketplace.
...
We have good parity for the core features of the app with maybe small adjustment - we started to use a notion of “Packages” in Cloud Apps instead of cross-project “Releases“ to avoid confusion with Jira Releases (that are de-facto versions).

We suggest to kick off a trial with Cloud solution before you decide to migrate to check all the features you use in Server/Datacenter versions. Any assistance you might need on the way please contact our support team.
