That's no longer the case - a large portion of teams are now using cloud variants of Confluence/Jira.

What a weird time to enforce British rules for acronyms. JIRA stands for JIRA Isn't Really Awesome.

Atlassian very much do use Jira cloud. Source: I worked there for 10 years. Not apologising for it's performance however.

    I mean, presumably it's subject to the two curses of modern software:- 1. Unless major customers are actively closing their accounts due to the poor performance, improving performance isn't a priority. 2. The people who pay for it aren't the people who use it, so the performance can get very, very bad before customers start closing their accounts.
