My understanding is that JIRA was originally built as an on-premises solution, so request latency wasn't an issue.

Then they moved everything to a cloud hosted solution, but the assumption of requests being effectively zero latency was still built-in, so now firing hundreds of requests with high latency makes everything feel super sluggish.

I'm working on my own issue tracker [0] that stores everything locally, which means no network latency. Eventually I'd like to build a sync backend for it so you can share it with a team, but for now everything runs locally.

Oh, that would explain why I had no problem with JIRA.

My company had paid for the locally hosted version of JIRA for security policy reasons.

Yeah, our on-prem Atlassian installation is utter crap performance wise, opening a Confluence page often takes 30 seconds or more. I also get pissed off every time we try to upgrade our SolidWorks installation because they share a DB server. Atlassian doesn't support the most recent versions of Microsoft SQL Server, but SolidWorks only supports the latest couple revisions of Microsoft SQL Server so every time it is a pain to ensure that both systems are compatible and my IT refuses to move SolidWorks to a new server.

I think the opposite, but yeah.

The cloud is the original code base and the on premise is a FORK! Can you believe it? It's not even the same code and the on premise solution is so far behind.
