Share Your Migration Journey and Learnings!
Hi, fellow community members,
As Atlassian Server support ends in February 2024, most of us will face a new life on Data Center or Cloud. I'd love to hear where you currently are in your migration journeys and the lessons you’ve learned along the way.
So, how's your cloud migration journey going? Are you still in the planning phase, smack in the middle of your migration, or have you already made the big move?
And, of course, let's talk about the learnings you've gathered. I'm sure you'll have some stories to tell about unexpected hiccups, “aha” moments, and everything in between. Did you discover any valuable hacks, tools, or advice you'd want to pass on to others?
Some of the advice we heard from @Rachel Wright and other migration experts:
Clean up as much up-front as you can. It ensures you’re not migrating broken stuff and reduces the scope of the migration. Cleaning up after rarely happens because there are new priorities.
Take the time to do proper pre-migration planning before getting into it. The more you do beforehand, the more successful your migration will be.
Don’t start to implement the migration at 6:00 PM on a Sunday. Leave plenty of extra time to be available just in case things go differently, or you have to roll back, or there are unexpected consequences.
I'm looking forward to hearing about your journeys and discoveries, so others can benefit from your learnings. No experience is too small to share – every step counts!
