YouTrack is a commercial, proprietary web-based bug tracker, issue tracking system, and project management software created by JetBrains.
Overview
Featuring an Ajax-powered interface, YouTrack supports interaction through both keyboard shortcuts and mouse controls. Users can perform issue searches using a query language entered in a single search field.
The application is developed following the language-oriented programming approach, with its frontend implemented in JavaScript and backend built using JetBrains' proprietary Kotlin language. It utilizes an embedded Xodus database for data persistence. Deployment options include both cloud-based hosting and on-premises installation, while a RESTful API facilitates remote procedure calls.
YouTrack Standard offers integrations with various tools such as Jira, Mailbox Integration, Zendesk, and JetBrains’ own products like Upsource and TeamCity. It also includes ready-made connectors for platforms including GitHub, BitBucket, and GitLab. Furthermore, YouTrack connects seamlessly with the Slack collaboration platform as well as JetBrains' integrated development environments.
Developers can leverage the platform’s REST API to automate tasks related to issue tracking and create tailored integrations.
