**Important Stride and Hipchat update: Atlassian and Slack announce a new partnership** ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/atlassiandeveloper/original/3X/f/4/f4acae504ecc3353a0f1d985a6f190ccdcc95314.jpg) Today, we’re announcing a new strategic partnership between Atlassian and Slack. Millions of people around the world use Slack to connect their teams, unify their systems, and drive their business forward. As a result of this partnership, Atlassian is discontinuing all real-time communications products, and we are working with Slack to provide a migration path for Stride and Hipchat customers. We will support Stride, Hipchat Cloud, Hipchat Server, and Hipchat Data Center until the following dates: - Stride and Hipchat Cloud until Feb 15, 2019 - Hipchat Server and Hipchat Data Center until: - Hipchat Data Center (v3.0): 22 Jun 2019 - Hipchat Data Center (v3.1): 26 Sep 2019 - Hipchat Server (v2.1): 8 Dec 2018 - Hipchat Server(v2.2): 30 May 2019 - Hipchat Server (v2.4): 30 Jun 2020 **How this affects you** We realize that this news is unexpected, and that you may need time to understand how this will affect your business. Here is some additional information related to this change: - Stride and Hipchat Cloud APIs, developer support, and Marketplace support tickets will remain available through Feb 15, 2019; Stride and Hipchat Cloud services will shut down after this date - Hipchat Server and Hipchat Data Center APIs, developer support, and marketplace support tickets will remain available through the dates listed above; Hipchat Data Center services will shut down after this date - Effective today, we’ll issue Stride or Hipchat product updates only for security issues or critical bugs - There are no plans for Atlassian to migrate Stride or Hipchat apps to the Slack platform; we encourage you to explore [Slack developer tools](https://api.slack.com/) to learn more about building real-time communications apps using the Slack platform Please read Atlassian’s [announcement](http://www.atlassian.com/partnerships/slack) for complete details about the partnership, then visit either the [Stride development developer community board](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/c/stride-development) or the [Hipchat development developer community board](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/c/hipchat-development) if you have additional questions about how this impacts your app(s). ---
