Why teams connect Atlassian and MySQL

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

Engineers integrate with tools like Atlassian through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in MySQL.

Stacksync mirrors Jira Issues, Jira Projects, Boards and Sprints, Issue Comments from Atlassian into Tables, Views, Columns, Primary and Unique Keys in MySQL 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

  • Mirror Jira projects into a SQL database for engineering throughput and SLA reporting.
  • Create Jira issues from records in other systems, such as onboarding tasks generated from a closed-won CRM deal.
  • Two-way sync between a MySQL application database and a CRM so operational records and sales records stay identical
  • Expose SaaS objects as MySQL tables so legacy internal tools built on MySQL can read live business data

Read Atlassian with a query

Records from Atlassian are ordinary rows in MySQL; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Atlassian from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in MySQL and Stacksync propagates the change into Atlassian, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Atlassian arrive as row changes in MySQL, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between Atlassian and MySQL

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 MySQL objects
Workflows and Statuses Status transitions mapped to stages in the paired system. JSON Columns Validated semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS data.
Users and Groups Assignees and reporters matched to identities in other tools. Stored Procedures Server-side logic that can post-process synced rows.
Confluence Pages Documentation content readable and writable through the Confluence REST API. Triggers An alternative change-capture mechanism when binlog access is unavailable.
Confluence Spaces Namespaces that scope page syncs and permissions. Databases (Schemas) Top-level namespaces that scope a sync's reads and writes.
Jira Issues The central work item, synced two-way with CRMs, support desks, and other trackers. Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems.
Jira Projects Containers that scope issues, workflows, and permissions for a sync. Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources.

At scale

Event queues

Handle millions of events per minute without losing a single Atlassian or MySQL record.

Observability

Monitoring

Track your Atlassian ⇄ MySQL sync health, view errors, and replay failed events in one click.

Trading partners

EDI

Transform legacy EDI complexity into simple database interactions between Atlassian and MySQL.

How the Atlassian and MySQL connectors work

Atlassian

Integration surface
REST APIs per product (Jira Cloud and Confluence Cloud)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 (3LO) for apps or API tokens with basic auth for scripts
Change detection
Webhooks on issue and page events, plus JQL polling on the updated timestamp for backfill
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks

MySQL

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (MySQL client/server protocol)
Authentication
Database credentials entered as a connection string or parameters, with optional SSL root certificate upload and optional SSH tunnel (SSH user + SSH host)
Change detection
Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing (requires log_bin_trust_function_creators=ON when binary logging is enabled)
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits and server resources
