Improved performance at scale

• Use data dimension recommendations to identify and manage performance and scale risks with Guardrails for Jira and Confluence.
• Ensure scale and stability in Jira by setting limits utilizing Safeguards for Comments and Index.
• Leverage automatic historical data clean-up to reduce page and attachment versions, and automatically purge deleted items from the trash to declutter your Confluence instance.
   

Increased native product capabilities and end-user value

• With Automation for Jira (A4J) now included natively in Jira Software Data Center, you can:
  • Synchronize parent and sub-tasks, smart auto-assign, track SLAs, automate acting on linked issues, and more.
  • Smoothly automate advanced processes like approval workflows or defect management.
  • Seamlessly communicate between separate instances and integrate with other tools using available webhooks-based triggers.
• If you use Advanced Roadmaps in Jira, you can now embed those plans on a Confluence page using the Advanced Roadmaps for Jira in Confluence.
   

Extended flexibility and control

• Gain greater insight into resource utilization and performance of third party apps via performance and API usage metrics with App Monitoring, available in Jira and Confluence.
• Supercharge your ability to identify and resolve problems with your Java apps as they occur by leveraging the Java Flight Recorder, a lightweight diagnostic tool for analyzing and troubleshooting apps at runtime in Jira and Confluence.
• Securely integrate Atlassian Data Center Jira and Confluence with Cloud using Application Tunnels.
