Confluence

Confluence is the wiki for Jira users. It excels at structured documentation and deep Jira integration (embedding live Jira tables).

When to Use

• Enterprise Technical Documentation: Centralizing system architecture, engineering runbooks, and design decisions.
• Automated Documentation Publishing: Generating Confluence pages from Markdown / CI/CD pipelines via REST API v2.
• Atlassian Document Format (ADF): Creating rich structured documents with code blocks, tables, and callout macros.
• Jira & Confluence Integration: Linking engineering requirements to active Jira sprints and issues.

Quick Start

# Query Confluence Cloud REST API for page content via curl
curl -X GET "https://mycompany.atlassian.net/wiki/api/v2/pages/{page-id}" \
  -u "developer@example.com:$CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" | jq '.title, .body.storage.value'
