Can I develop Jira plugin/add-on with nodejs?

[Jack sehgal]

I am currently learning to develop Jira plugin for Jira data center and I am using Java as the programming language but I was wondering if I can develop the plugin for Jira Data center using nodeJS ?

That will make my life a lot easier!

Hi Jack,

Welcome to Community!

In cloud you can as they have additional frameworks: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/software/build-a-jira-app-using-a-framework/

However, this doesn't seem possible for Server. Many cloud features are not planned to be added to data center or server. If you haven't decided on if your organization is moving to cloud or data center come the server EOL in 2024 this would be another benefit to consider Cloud!

Best,
Clark
