Case Study: Reddit achieves $300k+ annual savings and improved efficiency, discoverability, and security with Atlassian Confluence

Reddit is scaling, standardizing, and saving $300,000 per year with Jira and Confluence Whiteboards

Reddit, a global community platform that more than doubled its staff to over 2,000 employees as it scaled, faced rising costs, security risks, and fragmented knowledge from a proliferation of point tools. That tool sprawl made management harder, created data silos, and threatened the company’s ability to balance team autonomy with standardized, secure operations.

To address this, Reddit centralized on Atlassian Cloud—standardizing on Jira, Confluence, Trello, and Atlas for project tracking, documentation, and collaboration. The migration, supported by Atlassian advisory services, delivered a single source of truth, better discoverability and integrations (e.g., Confluence whiteboards into Jira), stronger security, and more efficient cross-team work—yielding over $300,000 in annual savings.
