...how is the JIRA server mission critical? is it tied to CI/CD somehow?


In the enterprise you'll find that Jira is used for general workflow management not just CICD. I've encountered teams of analysts spend their working day moving and editing work items. It's the Quicken of workflow management solutions.

Jira Server is deliberately cobbled by the sequence table + no Aurora support and now EOL (no security updates 1 year after purchase!). DC edition scales horizontally if you have 100k.

Jira in general is a poorly thought out product (looking at you customfield_3726!) but it's held in such a high regard by users it's impossible to avoid.


Pre covid I would have laughed at this. But now, no one knows what a user story should be unless you can reas it off jira and there are no backups of course.


Gives me a fun idea: a program that randomly deletes items out of your backlog.


"Chaos engineering for your backlog"


I done that. I deleted items from the backlog that i thought make no sense (anymore), nobody cared or asked any questions. If you didn't work on it for the last 18 months, it's probably not important and nobody cares.
