Atlassian is entering into a strategic partnership with Slack. As part of that partnership, Slack will be purchasing the IP for Stride and Hipchat Cloud, and Atlassian will make an equity investment in Slack.

As a result, we will no longer be offering any team communications products to our customers. That means we will discontinue Hipchat Cloud, Hipchat Data Center, Hipchat Server, and Stride. 

Teams will not be able to sign up for Stride starting on July 26th, 2018. Existing groups will be able to continue to add users and use Stride and Hipchat Cloud products until February 15th, 2019. Existing Hipchat Data Center & Hipchat Server customers will have support through the end of their license period. 

Building on the success of existing integrations between Atlassian's products and Slack, we will co-develop tighter native integrations between our products.

We knew we were taking a risk with Stride, but we had a vision for how teams needed to communicate that we felt passionately we had to deliver. 

While we were working on Stride, the market shifted. After nearly a year of operating Stride, it is clear that the best move forward is to partner with the market leader. 

This move will allow us to focus time and energy on our core products and new opportunities.

As we looked at our projections for each of our products and markets, it was clear that Slack has continued to extend its lead in the communications space.

While we’re proud of what we created with Stride, we believe the energy to expand and continue it is better invested in deepening the relationship with Slack, and creating more value for our joint customers.

Teams will not be able to sign up for Stride starting on July 26th, 2018. Existing groups will be able to continue to add users and use Stride and Hipchat Cloud products until February 15th, 2019. Note: We are strongly encouraging customers who want to retain their Stride and Hipchat data to begin exporting their data in January 2019, as well as exporting any associated app data. The last day to export data from Stride and Hipchat Cloud is March 15, 2019.

Existing Hipchat Data Center & Hipchat Server customers will have support through the end of their license period.

We will have a small, dedicated team supporting our customers on both Stride and Hipchat through the transition.
