Learn about Atlassian's end of support for Fisheye and Crucible and discover how Adaptavist can help you transition smoothly to modern DevOps tools.

In the dynamic landscape of software development, staying current with cutting-edge tools and methodologies is essential for maintaining a competitive edge. Atlassian has recently announced changes that will affect users of Fisheye and Crucible, their last remaining server products. As a trusted Atlassian partner, Adaptavist is here to guide you through this transition and ensure your development processes remain seamless and secure.

Key changes–what's the news from Atlassian?

Atlassian has decided to end the sales and support of Fisheye and Crucible. These tools have been in maintenance mode since 2020, and the official end of support is slated for May 15, 2028. This decision aligns with Atlassian's strategic move towards cloud solutions, encouraging customers to adopt newer software development technologies and methodologies. Here are the key dates to remember:

May 13, 2025: Discontinuation of new sales for Fisheye and Crucible.
May 15, 2028: End of support and maintenance for Fisheye and Crucible.

How will this affect you?

If you're currently using Fisheye and Crucible, it's essential to start planning your transition to alternative solutions. Continuing to use unsupported software post-May 2028 poses significant risks, including security vulnerabilities, system instability, and non-compliance with industry standards. This transition is an opportunity to enhance your DevOps practices and adopt more robust, modern tools that can better support your development needs.
