How I built it

We have built Velocity Chart for Confluence Cloud using React, Atlaskit and Atlassian Connect.

Challenges I ran into

The biggest challenge was to fetch data in Confluence Cloud from Jira Cloud. Due to lack of support of OAuth 2 for Jira Software we had to use our existing app Agile Velocity Chart Gadget for Jira as a required dependency in a data flow.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We have managed to reuse 99% of the frontend code for of the Velocity Chart gadget for Jira to create Velocity Chart for Confluence Cloud. With the support of Confluence Cloud now Velocity Chart can be run in Jira and Confluence in any platform.
