Open-source enterprise wiki platform built on MediaWiki
Hallo Welt! develops BlueSpice, an enterprise wiki platform distributed across 160+ countries with over 1M downloads. The tech stack spans PHP, Python, Docker, Kubernetes, and Elasticsearch—paired with emerging AI tooling (LangChain, RAG)—while actively replacing Confluence. The hiring velocity and project mix reveal a company scaling sales and engineering simultaneously: half the open roles are in sales, while engineering focuses on usability improvements, accessibility compliance, and AI features.

Confluence. Hallo Welt! lists Confluence as a tech they are actively replacing, and customer migration from legacy CMS and wiki platforms is a core project and pain point.
