@polydao
Atlassian's revenue: $1.79 billion last quarter
Atlassian's move: fire the engineer who built their infrastructure
his move: post a 38-minute breakdown of every system he built, free for anyone to copy
what he revealed:
> Envoy proxy instead of enterprise load balancers
> sidecar architecture for auth, logging, rate limits
> DynamoDB + SQS for async provisioning
> Packer + SaltStack for automated VM deployments at scale
Atlassian charges per employee across 350,000 customers
this guy just handed you the enterprise playbook for free

Copying Atlassian’s infra, paying thousands in hosting and server slack with 0 customers won’t make you the owner of an enterprise application
Mr. Buzzoni @polydao
fair point - the architecture scales down though, you don't need the full stack on day one

Story time ,i audited a shop once where one dude ran the entire auth layer. He quit. Six months of chaos. Document everything
Igor Savin @kibertoad
Ah yes. Atlassian, company famous for building products that people wish they could replicate.

That Atlasian tech stack is good to know. Of course, only for a legit bug bounty......would be a shame if someone tested it with BurpSuite.
Aryan @marshal_ishere
Can we call this open source contribution now😭
Stock-Analysis-simple @AshShal
You are just creating more training data for the AI that led to this situation. Not helpful.
Shaw - rus/cos @billy_boi6
Is this video a psyop? The most generic shit ever and people are treating it as though he revealed the deepest secrets of the comapny?
Jb @Jesse576311
Honestly Jira is one of the sloppiest products I’ve used from a company of that scale.
Horace Gonzalez @horacergonzalez
Really appreciate the clarity/simplicity of the explanations. I'm sure the actual implementation was not so simple.
tonis @totovoto
I wouldn’t recommend any of these for Atlassian like product. Especially vendor lock in items like SQS and DynamoDB
Mick Pollard @aussielunix
What he really told everyone in this video is not about tech. He is a relaxed and professional communicator that knows his domain well.
Fruit.Loop.Killer @cereal_zoinker
Nothing discussed is special. Atlassian is simply process tracking. They didn't invent it, they cant patent it, they will eventually die off .. likely faster than they should bc they spend money on stupid shit like F1 than raise prices forcing customers to make in house copies.

Firing the person who remembers how the pipes work is corporate enlightenment in reverse. First remove the witness, then act surprised when the building starts speaking.
Jeff Waller @waTTeim
Seemed great discourse though a little TL;DR. So the question naturally arises How do such obviously capable people build such a bad platform?
Juan Moreno @MorenoJuan69798
I wonder if large companies are aware that they are creating the perfect ecosystem for companies to emerge and displace them.
Rick @rickasaurus
You definitely don't want to replicate Atlassian's ancient-ass architecture from the dawn of the cloud
