Purpose

Large Jira instances often contain hundreds or thousands of custom fields, workflows, screens, and other types of Jira configuration elements. Jira's flexible nature accommodates the need to tailor the configuration of the system based on the unique processes and operational needs of any business. However, this level of flexibility causes a tremendous diversity among data dimensions, and each data dimension can influence Jira's speed.

Two significant factors impact the speed of any Jira serverinstance:

  • The increasing number of issues.

  • The increasing number of custom fields and other configuration elements.

The first factor is handled by the Configuration Manager's archive use case, which enables admins you to regularly archive old issues, thus tuning the performance of their your Jira serversinstance.

As for the The second major factor - an increased number of custom fields and other configuration elements - it is handled by Power Admin for Jira and its capabilities for conducting performance tuning and effective, error-free cleanup.
