Atlassian, the company behind jira is also an Australian company, not an American one.

Their HQ seems to be in San Francisco though and they have a US stock symbol. So I guess they pay the majority of taxes in the US, no?

Which makes them inherently insecure.

At whoever is downvoting me you might want to do some research on Australian software laws before you get upset. I didn't make the whole fucking planet backslide into authoritarian policies.

I mean, if I didn't know what you're talking about, that comment on its own would look very hostile. You can't expect everyone to know the same things you do.

And yet their infrastructure is hosted on AWS

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Has any major tech company moved their infrastructure from AWS? Those things take time.

Unless you use a very limited set of features, you can't really migrate to anything else than another of the big American clouds. And maybe some Chinese ones, though I've never seen what they offer.

what do you mean? you can host a server in your garage

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean, you very obviously don't know what do these cloud services sell, so why even participate in a discussion you're not qualified to be in at all?

No, you cannot migrate your AWS stack to your garage server.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm sorry for wasting your time by asking a question while underqualified.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Oh, you're not wasting my time, I decided to waste it myself. I just don't understand how "you can host a server in your garage" is even a seriously meant answer to replacing AWS.

Like, at my day job I'm responsible for managing an AWS stack that costs the company upwards of $20,000 per month. And we're far from the largest users. You can't store that in a garage.

It doesn't look like it's a particularly good replacement for Jira. It looks like a very basic service desk issue tracker, analogous to any number of generic issue trackers.

What makes this stand out so much it's worth a post? What's it's killer feature?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The fact that it's a Scottish company.

If you have any other Europe-based alternative to Jira, feel free to share!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

That basically locks you down to small, proprietary software. There's several open source options that are majority European. Open project is the most German software to ever german. Redmine seems mostly euro.

Oh shit sorry I forgot Scotland isn't part of Europe anymore nvmd. Yeah I don't know of any Scottish....well, anything, actually.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Well, at least our geography teacher taught us that UK is part of Europe, even if it's not mainland Europe.

Feel free to post them!

This seems to be an alternative to Jira Service Management, not Jira Software. Thereโ€™s a very important distinction between the two.
