Why teams connect Atlassian and Google Pubsub

Connect the tickets, records, and events in Atlassian to the systems engineering runs in Google Pubsub, kept current in real time and in both directions.

Atlassian is where customer-facing and operational work happens: the tickets, conversations, contacts, and records a team touches every day. Google Pubsub is where engineering runs the systems behind that work — the issue trackers, message brokers, directories, and monitors that keep services moving. The same items, people, and events matter to both, and when the only link between them is a manual hand-off or an overnight export, each side acts on a stale copy of what the other already knows.

Stacksync syncs Custom Fields, Workflows and Statuses, Users and Groups, Confluence Pages in Atlassian with Subscriptions, Messages, Schemas, Snapshots in Google Pubsub field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync maps the overlap, resolves conflicts by rules you set, and keeps every copy current, with no middleware to build and no API limits to babysit.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep Jira and a second tracker (for example a customer's Jira instance) aligned during co-delivery projects.
  • 02 Sync Confluence page metadata into a knowledge index so other tools can link to current documentation.
  • 03 Consume messages from a subscription via StreamingPull and write them into a Postgres or warehouse table for durable, SQL-queryable storage.
  • 04 Fan out CRM record changes to a topic and let billing, analytics, and notification subscriptions each react without coupling to the source.

Common sync patterns

Where Google Pubsub is the directory or identity source: one set of users

People and accounts in Atlassian stay matched to the users in Google Pubsub, so access, provisioning, and org changes propagate instead of being keyed in twice.

Where Google Pubsub watches operations: live volumes for visibility

Open items, throughput, and error counts from Atlassian replicate into Google Pubsub, so the operational view reflects what is actually happening in the business.

One shared record across both systems

Where both systems keep records for the same contacts, items, or users, a correction in either updates the other, ending dual maintenance and keeping IDs aligned for every other flow.

What you can sync between Atlassian and Google Pubsub

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Atlassian objects Google Pubsub objects How this pairing syncs
Workflows and Statuses Status transitions mapped to stages in the paired system. Topics Named resource publishers send to; Stacksync publishes each record change as a message to a topic for downstream subscribers to consume. Workflows and Statuses is specific to Atlassian and Topics to Google Pubsub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users and Groups Assignees and reporters matched to identities in other tools. Subscriptions A stream of messages from one topic; Stacksync consumes here via StreamingPull or a push endpoint, acknowledging each message after a successful write. Users and Groups is specific to Atlassian and Subscriptions to Google Pubsub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Confluence Pages Documentation content readable and writable through the Confluence REST API. Messages The synced unit: base64-encoded data plus attributes, ordering key, messageId and publishTime; capped at 10 MB each. Confluence Pages is specific to Atlassian and Messages to Google Pubsub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Confluence Spaces Namespaces that scope page syncs and permissions. Schemas Avro or Protocol Buffer definitions bound to a topic; validate that every published message matches the agreed structure. Confluence Spaces is specific to Atlassian and Schemas to Google Pubsub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Jira Issues The central work item, synced two-way with CRMs, support desks, and other trackers. Snapshots Captured subscription state for seek/replay; lets already-acknowledged messages be redelivered from a point in time. Jira Issues is specific to Atlassian and Snapshots to Google Pubsub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Jira Projects Containers that scope issues, workflows, and permissions for a sync. Message attributes Up to 100 key-value pairs per message; carry routing metadata and drive subscription filter expressions. Jira Projects is specific to Atlassian and Message attributes to Google Pubsub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Atlassian and Google Pubsub

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Atlassian Google Pubsub Sub-second propagation

DetectionAtlassian notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks on issue and page events, plus JQL polling on the updated timestamp for backfill.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Google Pubsub through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Google Pubsub Atlassian Sub-second propagation

DetectionGoogle Pubsub notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Consumes messages as they arrive on a subscription — StreamingPull (long-lived gRPC) or a push subscription delivering each message as an HTTPS POST.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Atlassian through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Google Pubsub: Per-region throughput quotas (publish up to ~4 GB/s in large regions); 10 MB max per message and per publish request, 1,000 messages per request, and 1 MBps per ordering key.
