Operations managing during first 12 hours of Jira’s down

[Женя]

Digging into Jira Software could solutions we found a lot of useful stuff for process management for business operations teams - additionally to developers, and in the end our operational departments process dozens requests per day through Jira, that involves dozens automations rules and custom workflows.
But today all such operations are moved to chats due to Jira’s down for some part of their customers, and after 12 hours we even haven’t received any explanation and details about recovery.

So I wonder here if somebody got any painless or just alternative solution for organizing business process management during such issues?

Unfortunately this doesn't help and doesn't answer to my question about any solution for moving business processes. 
And we can't reach you by the contact link as our link at jira in unavailable for itself.

Same here, it could not find our project URL, so we went in through their sales/billing enquiry route (you can pick any other ticket type, and then paste the project URL in the description) Still nothing restored, and we have been hung out to dry. Most likely it is something serious, and they are not disclosing it.

Was able to get to one of the support team member after trying hard, and was informed our entire site has been wiped out! This is ridiculous.  It has been almost 24 hours since the incident happened, and we have been provided no clear information on what has happened with our data.

@Asim Sarfraz  How did you catch them for such response? As Jira can't find our project by url during creating a Support request.

Are they able to restore it?

yes, and the impact becomes bigger, without access to confluence spaces the issue also affects support and sales departments

As of this comment's writing, our cloud site is still down after more than 14 hours. We can't log any tickets because Jira Cloud can't find our URL anymore. Our development has been severely impacted, and there is no RCA update from Atlassian, and no ETA either
