The challenge

Atlassian maintained a deprecated self-hosted Sentry instance that required significant operational overhead. Two full-time engineers spent their time maintaining infrastructure and addressing security vulnerabilities instead of building customer features, and supporting 200+ internal teams created unsustainable sprawl.

The solution

Atlassian migrated to Sentry SaaS with a small team, using real-time telemetry for error monitoring, release health tracking, and event context across its application portfolio.

The results, in context

Atlassian reported 4,160 engineering hours saved annually and a migration 12x faster than the average SaaS migration, completed in days rather than the three months planned, across 280+ applications. The figures are quoted from Sentry's published customer story and dated to when sourced, July 24, 2026.
