Is Jira worth it now that they have a mandatory daily 2 hour maintenance window?

[Manish Keswani]

Atlassian has been making some bad decisions lately. The decision to have a daily 2 hour maintenance is affecting our 24x7 operations. We cannot afford any down time of our Jira or Confluence apps.

Is it worth sticking with Jira now or should we consider moving to other apps?

Hi @Manish Keswani 

Where did you get this information from? Is this for the cloud or for the data center?

We get a maintenance page every day, which has a link to this post

Nothing much to say here, rather asking Atlassian to not rollout changes on your instance. Some of those changes, however, cannot be avoided, like urgent fixes. Also, have you used to defer the rollouts? This can stop the releases for up to 30 days. You can find this in Atlassian Administration > Apps > App udpates
