Back in the distant past I did and integration with HP CoCreate work manager and ME10 (aka Creo now). That was literally like dipping your balls in acid and then salt in quick succession all day. The thing was backed with Oracle on an HP N-class. The whole platform was one of HP's lesser known disasters.
I take it you have never tried any of the Mental Mentor Graphics CAD tools. Or any of the IBM Rational products, which tend to be the most fragile way of solving your problems.
Here! Here! Don't get me started on both of those... we use Mentor Graphics CAD tools and IBM Rational CC, CQ, and all the new ones from IBM too!!! To make things even worse our stuff is all multisited as well. A lot of the new more "devops" stuff seems pretty good ie. gitlab, jira, confluence, mattermost, jenkins, etc. We support them all.

LMAO there is a human on the planet that likes Jenkins, devourer of inodes, scourge of incremental backups and a lesson to us all, on the grade of the nazi party, on how to fuck up concurrency and plug-in management.
The last company I worked for had a Jenkins instance called Manuel, after the waiter/butler in fawlty towers. This was because he was a useless idiot

I’m not going to dignify any Atlassian products with an answer. Their not ironic slogan for years being “because you’ve got issues”
Devops. Writing a book on that at the moment believe it or not. Actually it’s more of an explanation of how the software industry got where it did today and how to fix it. Fads be fads. Best thing about devops is the free training and sandwiches

Edit: watch out for ninjas when you’re doing devops. They’re everywhere. Our resident devops ninja lurks in my garden waiting to slit his opponent’s throat. However every time I trash his plans with a well placed edge case. He limps off into the darkness shaking his little ninja fist at the sky shouting “damn you monolithic process”
Edit 2: if anyone wants to real an “excellent” book, grab a copy of “the Phoenix project”. It’s kind of like Mein Kampf for software folk. A terribly misguided insane rambling about how to make the world a better place.
