As Atlassian phases out its Data Center support, GitLab continues to empower organisations with flexible deployment choices including cloud, self-managed, and hybrid models.


Atlassian Phases Out Data Center: GitLab Stands by Flexible Deployment Options

Atlassian recently announced the upcoming end of support for its Data Center offerings, a move that has raised concerns among many self-managed enterprise customers. Users relying on traditional, on-premise deployments now face a critical moment of reconsidering their DevOps and software development platforms. In contrast, GitLab remains steadfast in its commitment to deployment flexibility, offering organisations the ability to choose between fully cloud-hosted, self-managed, or hybrid models.

This strategic divergence highlights GitLab’s dedication to user choice and control. Whether you’re operating within secure government environments, handling sensitive IP in isolated infrastructures, or simply pursuing stringent compliance goals, GitLab continues to support your preferred deployment strategy.

While Atlassian will no longer provide new feature developments or Marketplace app sales for its Data Center, GitLab stands by its transparent roadmap and consistent support for both cloud-native and on-premise needs. Additionally, GitLab’s integrated approach—combining source code management, CI/CD, security, and observability—offers a unified and efficient alternative for teams considering migration.

At IDEA GitLab Solutions, an official GitLab Select Partner, we are ready to help organisations across Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, North Macedonia, United Kingdom, and globally, to navigate this transition smoothly. Our expert consulting services and licensing support empower teams to modernise their workflows without compromising on deployment preferences.

As self-managed users explore future-proof solutions, GitLab represents an adaptable, all-in-one DevSecOps platform backed by enterprise-grade support and a strong vision for long-term innovation. Whether Atlassian’s shift affects your toolchain or you are simply reconsidering your strategic direction, GitLab offers a secure and customisable path forward.
