How Atlassian Migrated to Cloud Computing and Microservices

Atlassian, the collaboration and development tool vendor best known for Jira and Confluence, was drowning in technical debt when CTO Sri Viswanath joined the company in 2016. He first undertook a massive project to rewrite their software with a microservices model. They then migrated to Amazon Web Services (AWS). The entire project took about two years.
