After Jira Server: a lighter home for your projects

Jira Server is gone and Data Center is built for enterprises. Starlex is a cloud tracker with the Jira features small and medium teams actually used.

5 min read

For years, Jira Server let teams run Jira on their own hardware. Atlassian ended support for Server in February 2024, which left two paths: Jira Cloud, or Jira Data Center, which is priced and designed for large enterprises. Many teams wanted a third option.

What you actually used

Most Server installations ran boards, a backlog, sprints, epics, custom fields and a few workflows, plus Confluence next door. Starlex has all of that in one product, including notes, whiteboards and diagrams, so you move one tool instead of two.

Nothing to run

Starlex is a cloud service. There are no servers to size, no Java to tune and no weekend upgrades. New features arrive without downtime: during an update the app holds what people change for a few seconds and saves it afterwards, so nobody loses work mid-edit.

Security built in

Projects are private to their members by default. Two-factor sign-in is available to everyone, and administrator access is time limited and audited.

Bring your projects

Export issues from Jira as CSV and import them into Starlex with automatic field mapping and a full check before anything is written. See how to move from Jira with a CSV export.
