How do Jira Cloud admins handle performance issues as instances grow?

Hello Community,


I am a Jira Cloud admin working with growing projects and users.
As the instance scales, I would like to understand the most common performance bottlenecks in large Jira Cloud environments and best practices admins use to avoid them.
Any real-world tips or lessons learned would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi @Sharad Dadarao Chate 

Resources are granted as per subscription.

Main causes fro bad performance are :

  • number of custom fields
  • number of permission schemes
  • bad performing automation rules
  • integrations via API, what are there permissions and scope

I would add to this list that use of third party apps can contribute to poor performance as the volume of data grows, depending on the construction of the third party app.
