Are Xray Server and Xray Cloud the same product?

No. Besides the change in the architecture, the products also have several differences. Although , they are two different products with distinct roadmaps and different release cycles. The architecture that supports both products is different, so it affects all aspects of the products. Although we try to keep them as close as possible, featurewise, they must be understood as two different apps, although with a lot of many similarities. Most of these differences result from the architecture since, in Jira Cloud, Jira and Xray run and all Apps (including Xray) run in different hosts. So Xray Cloud communicates with Jira Cloud through its API, and if there is no API that supports a given feature, it is not possible to make it available in Xray Cloud. Other differences may also result from customer feedback and technical decisions. When moving from Server to Cloud, it is important to be aware of the differences.
