Performance of your Jira Cloud site is also your responsibility

Using the Jira Cloud is a little like leasing a car.  Atlassian is responsible for making sure that it is in working order and to fix anything that 'mechanically' goes wrong, but you are still responsible for performing maintenance.   The problem is - maintenance is not that easy in Jira.
