Atlassian successfully migrated its metrics platform, handling data from 100k hosts across 14 regions, from gostatsd to OpenTelemetry while maintaining a 99.95% SLO. By preserving the existing StatsD-over-UDP interface and refactoring only the backend processing logic, the team transformed a potential organization-wide application migration into a platform-led architectural evolution, significantly reducing business-side adoption costs and risks.

    • Atlassian avoided forcing client upgrades for thousands of services by retaining the StatsD-UDP frontend interface while migrating the backend to OpenTelemetry.
    • The migration strictly adhered to a 99.95% SLO constraint, ensuring continuity and stability of production alerting metrics.
    • Community experts praised the stream ID routing and incremental aggregation design but noted that the stateful aggregation layer currently relies on manual configuration, posing scalability concerns.
