Is Cloud or Data Center right for me?
Easy Agile TeamRhythm is available for both Jira Cloud and for Jira Data Center. Use the version that matches your host Jira site.
While we endeavor to make the app as similar as possible between hosting types, there are some minor differences in the app between the Data Center and Cloud.
How does the app interact with Jira data?
Easy Agile TeamRhythm uses Jira’s REST APIs to interact with your Jira data.
-
The app never stores a separate copy of your Jira data.
On page load, requests are made on behalf of the user to fetch data from Jira’s API. When users update Jira data in the app, the update is submitted through the API. This keeps your Jira data as the single source of truth.
The user’s existing Jira permissions control what Jira data they can access within the Easy Agile TeamRhythm app. A user will only be able to view or edit Jira data where they already have permission to do so in Jira.

Jira Cloud and Atlassian Forge
The app integrates with Jira Cloud through the Atlassian Forge Platform. For complete details on the security approach of Atlassian Forge see https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/security/.
App-specific data that cannot be stored as Jira data is stored in Easy Agile’s cloud servers. Learn more about what app data is stored for Easy Agile TeamRhythm here.
