Over the past several years, organizations have transitioned more of their tech stacks and tooling to the cloud. The majority of Flow customers are now in the cloud, so we are excited to announce that the future of Flow will be exclusively in the cloud. Our Flow Enterprise Server product is in the process of being sunsetted in favor of having customers use our Cloud SaaS offering.
As a Flow Cloud customer, you will benefit from immediate access to the latest features and product updates. Learn more about what’s been recently released in Flow Cloud.
Change can be difficult and will take time. If you are a Flow Enterprise Server customer, you will continue to have access to our Support and Success teams until July 1, 2024. We want to help you migrate to the cloud so you can unlock even more benefits with Flow. The release date of our final Flow Enterprise Server version with new Flow application functionality is the first week of July, 2022.
Note: Since the final release containing new functionality, several additional versions of Flow Enterprise Server have been released. They contain mainly security and bug fixes and do not contain additional functionality.
Our cloud product is easier to set up and maintain, and you can leverage our reliable and secure cloud infrastructure to eliminate hardware costs and server requirements. This will save you both time and money.
Please review the information in this article about the transition. Then, reach out to us if you still have questions or concerns. This article will be updated with additional information as it becomes available.

Migrating to the cloud
Migrating to the cloud involves setting up your SSO configuration, merging your users, configuring your roles, and ingesting your data. This process is functionally the same as for your Enterprise Server configuration.
The time it will take to ingest your data and configure your organization is dependent on the size of your data, including the number and size of your repositories.
As always, our teams are dedicated to your success. Support, Customer Success, and Professional Services will be by your side. The Professional Services team will help your organization navigate this transition as you join us in the cloud.
