I’m trying to create a lot of projects (about 2000) on a dev instance using a script and REST API. I need such a number of projects to properly test a feature in my app. The first 200 projects get created without error but then the returned response says that Jira is under heavy load. The same happen subsequently after I run the script again - I’m able to create max another 20-30 projects, even if I make only one request per five seconds or so.
Is there anything I can do to temporarily raise the Jira’s limit?
Do you reckon it would go faster if, instead of using the Jira REST API, you create your own REST module endpoint called “/rest/myaddon/1.0/provision” and use the ProjectManager service to create them programmatically?
Is it possible with Jira Cloud? It seems that I would need to write a Java plugin but isn’t it the case that only Connect apps can be installed on a Cloud instance?
