Cause of death: the autopsy

Only 6.5% of paid Jira and 7.8% of Confluence Data Center installs lack a Cloud listing, mostly admin tools Cloud doesn't need. Zero functional Data Center-only apps with 1,000+ installs lacked a Cloud alternative; the kill line needed 3.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

Re-check at 2028-03-30, when Atlassian ends sales to existing Data Center customers.
