Integrated Search between JIRA and GitLab
For users of both GitLab and JIRA, being able to search for specific text/content across both platforms is helpful. You will be able to see a more complete picture of the work related to a specific topic, as well as have one place to go if you can't remember whether you saw a particular string in an issue or an MR/commit/etc.
Both GitLab and JIRA offer Search API's:
- JIRA: https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/jira-rest-api-examples/#searching-for-issues-examples
- GitLab: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/search.html#global-search-api
As an MVC we could potentially just have a dedicated tab for JIRA within GitLab. If relevance is included in the results, we could try to fuse the results into our overall common result page.
