Performance impact

[Kyle Partlo]

We are evaluating putting Scriptrunner in production and have the following questions

1. How can we performance test your application?

2. Are there any functions that are known to have a performance impact?

Hi Kyle,

To add to what Katy has already written here. We already mentioned in a comment on your support ticket with us:

There are a number of articles that have been published by Atlassian regarding Performance Testing their products. Like these:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/jira-performance-testing-available-tools-729743538.html

https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/jira-performance-tests-jpt-beta-is-now-available/23708

However, we can assure you that Adaptavist are a member of the Top Vendors group in the Atlassian Marketplace so we take great care in trying to be the best by all reasonable measures. This includes the performance of our Apps too.

Last year we undertook Atlassian's new Data Center Approval process. This involved going through a rigorous set of technical questions regarding the scaling of our Apps (including ScriptRunner). It also included loading huge sets of data (i.e thousands of projects and millions of issues and comments etc etc). We then underwent a series of Jira (and ScriptRunner) functional tests (eg. load a dashboard, view an issue, run a JQL query and much more). We posted the results as Mean Response Times firstly without our App installed and then again with our App installed. These tests were done in a single node, 2 node and 4 node cluster of Jira Software.

We haven't quite worked out the best way to publicly share those results but I can tell you that you can be confident that our Apps have been performance tested and that they do NOT adversely affect the performance of Jira Software (or Jira Service Desk).

I hope that helps,

1. How can we performance test your application?
Answer: Depending on what features you want to use, the documentation for some of them will mention specific things that might be slow/resource intensive.

2. Are there any functions that are known to have a performance impact?
Answer: That depends a lot on how you use them. Certain JQL functions can be fairly slow as you can see in here.
 
You can see here the ScriptRunner documentation.

Regards,

Katy
