Why teams connect Atlassian and MongoDB

Mirror Atlassian's data into MongoDB so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Teams sync Atlassian with MongoDB to keep an operational document mirror of Jira inside the database their applications already use. Jira Issues map naturally to MongoDB Documents, with Issue Comments and Attachments metadata stored as embedded documents and arrays, ready for internal tools and services to query.

Stacksync mirrors Attachments, Custom Fields, Workflows and Statuses, Users and Groups from Atlassian into GridFS files, Databases, Collections, Documents in MongoDB and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Atlassian, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Internal apps read Jira state from MongoDB with indexed queries instead of rate-limited API calls.
  • 02 Product teams join issue Documents with application data living in the same Databases.
  • 03 Indexes on synced Custom Fields make cross-project issue search fast inside existing services.
  • 04 Mirror Jira projects into a SQL database for engineering throughput and SLA reporting.

Common sync patterns

Issue document mirror

Jira Issues replicate into a MongoDB Collection as Documents, with Custom Fields preserved as native fields.

Nested comment sync

Issue Comments store as embedded documents and arrays under each issue Document for single-read access.

Portal views

MongoDB Views over synced Jira Projects power customer-facing status pages served by product applications.

What you can sync between Atlassian and MongoDB

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 MongoDB objects How this pairing syncs
Custom Fields Instance-specific fields (customfield IDs) that carry most business-specific data in syncs. Documents BSON records created, updated, and deleted during syncs, keyed by _id. Custom Fields is specific to Atlassian and Documents to MongoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workflows and Statuses Status transitions mapped to stages in the paired system. Embedded documents and arrays Nested structures that syncs flatten or map to related records in relational targets. Workflows and Statuses is specific to Atlassian and Embedded documents and arrays to MongoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users and Groups Assignees and reporters matched to identities in other tools. Indexes Keep lookups by sync key fast on large collections. Users and Groups is specific to Atlassian and Indexes to MongoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Confluence Pages Documentation content readable and writable through the Confluence REST API. Views Read-only aggregation-defined sources for filtered sync datasets. Confluence Pages is specific to Atlassian and Views to MongoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Confluence Spaces Namespaces that scope page syncs and permissions. Change streams The oplog-backed event feed that powers real-time change capture. Confluence Spaces is specific to Atlassian and Change streams to MongoDB — 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. GridFS files Chunked file storage whose metadata can be referenced by synced documents. Jira Issues is specific to Atlassian and GridFS files to MongoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Atlassian and MongoDB

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 MongoDB 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 applied to MongoDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

MongoDB Atlassian Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in MongoDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. MongoDB oplog and change streams (requires the database to run as a replica set — even single-node).

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