I’m new to Confluent and I’m trying to pull data from Jira into a web app using Jira Source connectors on confluent cloud. Is there a way to do this on confluent cloud without interacting at all with a locally installed confluent platform instance?
The Cloud documentation seems to explain how you can install third party connectors. Are you running into any issues with that? No, local installation is not required.
Yes, you can pull data from Jira using Jira Source connectors on Confluent Cloud without needing a local Confluent platform. Confluent Cloud is fully managed, so you don’t need to worry about setting up anything locally. Make sure to configure your Jira connector correctly and check your permissions in both Jira and Confluent Cloud. You’ll also need to set up proper API access from Jira. Also, it’s helpful to learn the difference between epic vs story jira. This will help you structure your tasks better when pulling data into your web app. Let me know if you need any more details!
