Two people in Romania doing Atlassian migrations, Forge apps and practical AI work for teams that would rather talk to the person doing the job. Most of what we learn ends up on this site.

What People Say

2 client testimonials

“LeanZero worked with UBS on migrating their infrastructure from DC to cloud—a first for the bank in this space. Each step was uncharted territory, requiring careful navigation and precise execution. LeanZero did a magnificent job managing competing priorities and stakeholder demands. We threw ideas at them constantly—this didn't make their life any easier. they handled intense pressure with welcome calmness. 100% recommended. Excellent partner to work with.”

Best local image generation model on a Mac? ERNIE-Image Turbo won our blind test

I ran six open image models through six prompts in mflux on a Mac Studio M3 Ultra and had two blind AI judges score the 48 images. ERNIE-Image Turbo scored 4.28 of 5 at about 80 seconds an image, ahead of its own 13-minute base model. FLUX.2 klein 4B is 3.6 times faster, scored 3.07 and misspelled the shop banner on both seeds. I also read each model's license for commercial use.

Rovo usage limit: set or turn off extra usage before 3 December

On 16 October I switched on Rovo extra usage on our test org, set a 1,000-credit limit and turned it off again. The switch is an order on the company card, it starts with no limit at all, and the audit log list doesn't name the meter that changed. Billing for extra credits starts on 3 December 2026.

Atlassian usage-based pricing: a 2027 budget for 50, 200 and 500 seats

We priced Atlassian's 2027 bill for 50, 200 and 500 seats: the 13 October 2026 list prices plus Rovo credits and automation steps over the allowance, using credit costs we measured on our own test org. Routine Rovo use adds $7,464 a year to a 200-seat Jira and Confluence Standard org. Teamwork Collection Standard costs less at all three sizes.
