Hi, @basujuttiyavar,

It’s not possible to connect to the Jira Cloud database. The only way of interacting with data in Jira Cloud is through the public REST API or by some Connect app capabilities (e.g. listening to webhooks).

You can learn more about writing apps for Jira Cloud in our documentation: About Jira Cloud platform

Thanks Kkercz,

Do you see any performance issue if we try to update issue details in Jira by using REST API if the issue number huge.

Regards,
Basu

Unfortunately, there is no API for updating a batch of issues at once (yet), so you would need to update them one by one. You will need to take performance and rate limits into account. Probably executing thousands of requests in parallel isn’t a good idea, whereas updating one by one sequentially should be fine, only it will take a lot of time. You’ll need to find a right balance.
