Publish updates to a Kafka Topic

When looking at an integrated planning view, including Jira epics/stories/backlogs for upcoming work in addition to current work test results, we'd like to join data from multiple tools, and view current status across multiple tools. If we use the REST API, we'll need to poll for updates on a schedule. The preference would be to have a pub-sub option so that any updates to planning could be propagated as they happen to the centralized reporting & analytics capability.
