What are we expecting to happen?
The JiraConnect app will start synching feature flags after the app has been updated.
What might happen if this goes wrong?
Jira connect sync could break more widely.
Worker utilization could spike, and consume excessive resources.
What can we monitor to detect problems with this?
Logs for the jira sync worker background jobs.
