The Customer – a software development firm producing enterprise ready cloud software for businesses around the globe – had been a long-time user of Jira Software Server and Confluence Server as integral parts of their development and DevOps toolchain for many years. Before contacting Automation Consultants, the customer’s Atlassian applications had been hosted and supported by an external outsourcing partner. Due to persistent performance issues with Jira that had been left unresolved, the customer decided to migrate to a new hosting environment based in AWS, managed and supported by Automation Consultants.
The migration was fully tested, with a trial run in a non-production environment and subsequent UAT signed off by the customer’s key stakeholders.
Once the trial migration had been performed successfully, Automation Consultants migrated the customer’s large-scale Jira and Confluence applications from the previous hosting platform to a new AWS platform, designed by Automation Consultants to follow both Atlassian best practice and AWS ‘Well-Architected’ design principles. The migration was done over a weekend, so as to eliminate any outage in business hours and minimise disruption to the customer.

As these changes were implemented, the customer reported a marked improvement in application performance and stability. Since then, the application has been well maintained and is running steadily with good performance.
