Performance impact using labels

Question

Hello,

I am looking for some insight on how JIRA is performing when using labels. Who has experience with performance issues using labels?

Would we have a performance issue if we have 20,000 labels considering that we have about 200k tickets, and 200 projects in a single instance?

What other information is relevant to make a statement?

Thanks in advance, and kind regards,

Hans

Hi @Hans Meijer ,

Some info on this can be found here. The answer is "it depends", and as it says in the link - "There is no fixed number that would be considered as large amount of labels, as it would be dependent on each Jira environment's processing power and capacity."

It's probably going to work, but test it first. I worked on a DC instance with 10M issues, 800 projects and tens of thousands of labels, and saw no performance problems due to labels. Best to have the labels set by scripts though, since people make typos
