Atlassian and AWS services firm scaling toward cloud and automation
Adaptavist is a services business built on Atlassian, AWS, and adjacent platforms (Slack, GitLab, monday.com) serving 22,000+ customers across Fortune 500 and mid-market. The tech stack reveals a Java and React backend modernizing toward serverless (AWS SAM, AWS CDK, Terraform), while the project list shows active migration of core IP (ScriptRunner) to cloud. Hiring is sparse (12 roles, 1 posted in 30 days) and engineering-skewed; their internal pain-point data flags treasury and payment friction, hinting at operational scaling challenges beneath the service-delivery surface.
Adaptavist delivers digital transformation services across five practices: agile, DevOps, work management, ITSM, and cloud. The company acts as a systems integrator and specialist for Atlassian products (Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management), AWS infrastructure, and workflow platforms. They also build and maintain proprietary tools like ScriptRunner, a popular Jira automation extension now being ported to a cloud-native platform. The customer base spans Fortune 500 enterprises and growth-stage companies; revenue streams include consulting, managed services, training, and software licensing. Operations span the UK (London HQ), EU (Spain, Greece, Estonia, Germany), and South Africa.
Core: Java, React, PostgreSQL, AWS (DynamoDB, SAM, CDK). Platform integrations: Atlassian (Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, Forge), AWS, Slack, GitLab, monday.com. Emerging: Terraform, ServiceNow, Opsgenie.
Cloud platform modernization (ScriptRunner cloud, serverless stack deployment); Jira Service Management and Forge integrations; CI/CD automation; Opsgenie and ServiceNow expansion; sales function scaling.
