The real issue with jira is how unresponsive the backend feels.

First, this clone looks very nice and worth trying if your workflow fits it.

If this tool is still needing some feature you want, Do you run JIRA cloud? Jira by no means is perfect. It's one of the few tools that can handle complexity.

I noticed a huge leap in JIRA speed in switching from cloud hosted Jira to self-hosting.

On Cloud, Atlassian is mischievous and aggressively optimizes and constrains the resources.

If you don't use Jira often enough on cloud, it will be slow. The more it is used, the faster it gets.

One way to speed up JIRA Cloud is to hit the urls regularly with a script, keeps them cached.

Not sure if this is your project OP (can’t tell from a quick bio check) but if so, GREAT idea!

I love the idea of having an open-source showcase project to help with consulting client development. It’s awesome on multiple levels - shows potential clients how you think / how you work, gives a nice resource to those learning React, etc. etc.

Nicely done :)

Mind the "What is this and who is this for" https://github.com/oldboyxx/jira_clone#what-is-this-and-who-....

Looks to me like the OP developed this to showcase his skills and get hired, not for production use by other people or with any intent of maintaining it.

I used it (Jira) for a short period of time a while back. I seem to recall that it's performance was highly influenced by non-obvious JVM parameters, and bits of the system would stall or crash without a clear pattern until a bit of trial & error with parameters solved it. It wasn't very "turn key" and the out-of-the-box config were... less than ideal. This was for a single user (me) so it's not like there was a much of a resource crunch.
