Case Study: Atolio achieves open, organized distributed team communication with Zulip

Atolio - Customer Case Study

Atolio, a distributed tech startup founded in 2019, needed a team chat tool to support its fully remote team. They wanted to avoid the noisy and disorganized environment of tools like Slack, seeking a solution designed for effective asynchronous and distributed communication. They chose to evaluate the team chat service Zulip Cloud from vendor Zulip.

By implementing Zulip, Atolio found a solution in its first-class, topic-based threading model, which organized conversations and made information easy to find. The open-source nature of Zulip provided long-term reliability and the ability to self-host if needed. The results were significant: Zulip became the core of their business, enabling an open communication culture without downtime and allowing for easy integration with their engineering tools.
