Are you suggesting they’re going out of business?

Until the current crop of managers retire, Atlassian will still have business. Some don't know anything other than Jira, so will recommend it on corporate purchases.
Probably a testament to performance and reliability of the hosted offering (we all remember the multi day outage not long ago).
Are you referring to the April outage?

Technically 14 days is multi day, but when it can be measured in weeks, you might as well.

What does that mean? Two days is multi day. Even 25 hours is multi day.

I believe they’re saying that we might as well say “multi-week” rather than “multi-day”, given that it was 14 days!

Multi day seems to imply a time period of 2-5 days, not 14…

There were zero issues with performance/reliability that caused the outage, they just deleted hundreds of customers data, and had to manually restore the data due to lack of automated restore scripts.
Reliability is measured from a customer's perspective, not from a geeky vendor-oriented perspective of a backend service. When the vendor deletes data, the vendor's reliability quotient decreases, because that data is no longer available to the customer.
Once again we learn the hardware that accessibility is not the same thing as reliability.
Apparently they've never made a profit...
