Case Study: Redfin achieves faster time-to-market, centralized documentation, and $60K in savings with Atlassian Confluence

Redfin migrates to Atlassian cloud with focused innovation, cost savings, and agility to redefine real estate

Redfin, America’s leading brokerage site, set out to “redefine real estate in the customer’s favor,” but rapid growth and distributed teams left documentation, workflows, and communication fragmented. The engineering organization needed a centralized, agile, cloud-based platform to scale collaboration, reduce maintenance overhead, and free engineers to focus on product innovation.

Redfin standardized on Atlassian Cloud—using Jira Software for repeatable agile workflows and Confluence for centralized documentation—integrated Slack and Atlassian Access, and partnered with Atlassian migration services to move off self‑managed servers. The migration saved about $60,000 quickly, reduced engineering time spent on infrastructure, improved cross-team visibility and onboarding, and accelerated delivery of customer-focused features.
