Based on the knowledge sources, JQL is currently in maintenance mode and will be completely deprecated on December 31, 2025. While you can technically still use it now, Mixpanel strongly recommends discontinuing its use and switching to alternative methods.
According to the JQL documentation, here are the recommended alternatives for common use cases:
- Raw Event export: Export API or Data Pipelines
- User Profile export: Engage Query API or Data Pipelines
- Other reporting: Query API or in-app Core Reports
It's also important to note that JQL is a self-serve tool, meaning if you choose to continue using it, your developer team will be responsible for writing and maintaining the query logic. Additionally, JQL features are only available in the 'All Project Data' Data View, not in custom Data Views.
Given the upcoming deprecation, I'd recommend planning your migration to one of the alternative methods as soon as possible.
