Atlassian to end sale and support of on-premise server products by 2024

Gah! This tells me that v2 should not include on-prem at all. During the time between the completion of v2 and end of support for 2024, folks that need compatibility with on-prem should use v1.
I'm not sure if I'm missing something. But the Data Center products will still be supported and be deployed on on-premise even after 2024. I'm not aware of any plan that Atlassian will depreciate them.
To my knowledge Server Products and Data Center products have the same REST API. Thus, it is good to support the on-prem Data Center product in v2.
At this point V1 works just fine for cloud or on-premise with few edge cases. Since it's a REST API, you are always free to write your own methods and calls for API endpoints that either aren't implemented or have some compatibility issue.
V2 work is greenfield work, and I would strongly disagree that it is worth while to include on-premise or datacenter compatibility in V2, given it's very likely to not exist for much longer.
Atlassian has announced that the company will end the sale and support for all of its server products on 2 February 2024, as it continues to invest heavily in the cloud.
The end of sale and support will apply to Jira Software Server, Jira Core Server, Jira Service Desk Service, Confluence Server, Bitbucket Server, Crowd Server, Bamboo Server, Atlassian-built apps, and Atlassian Marketplace server apps.
Effective from 2 February 2021, Atlassian will end new server licence sales and cease any new feature development for its server product line. It will also increase the price of maintenance for existing server renewals and upgrades, which will continue to be available over the next three years until 2 February 2024.
For customers who cannot or do not want to migrate to the cloud, Atlassian said it would continue to offer its self-managed Atlassian Data Center, which includes capabilities and integrations that would make it easier to use cloud and Data Center products together, as well as access to priority support and new native apps.
Prices for its Data Center subscriptions will also increase from 2 February 2021, Atlassian said.
Thank you @ghostsquad for your reply.
I'm just trying to understand the situation. I did read the news article and the blog post from Scott Farquhar. I did not see where they mentioned that they will cut the support on on-premise Data Center products.
We are also strengthening Atlassian Data Center by making some of our most powerful apps available natively and offering Priority Support with Data Center subscriptions for most user tiers. To support this continued innovation, we will update the price of Data Center subscriptions on February 2, 2021 PT. Scott Farquhar (Atlassian Co-Founder & Co-CEO)
What I understood the changes is mainly to the licenses more than deprecating their existing software. So they enforce small customers to move to the cloud.
Actually to upgrade from the Jira server to Jira Data Center on a single node you need only to change the license without even restarting the server.
Hey,
I am very sorry that this issue has been open for a long time with no final solution. We work on this project in our spare time, and sometimes, other priorities take over. This is the typical open source dilemma.
However, there is news: We are kicking off v2 of this library 🚀
To provide visibility, we created the Road to v2 Milestone and calling for your feedback in https://github.com/andygrunwald/go-jira/issues/489
The development will take some time; however, I hope you can benefit from the changes. If you seek priority development for your issue + you like to sponsor it, please contact me.
What does this mean for my issue?
We will work on this issue indirectly. This means that during the development phase, we aim to tackle it. Maybe in a different way like it is currently handled. Please understand that this will take a while because we are running this in our spare time.
Final words
Thanks for using this library. If there is anything else you would like to tell us, let us know!
