HipChat was an unmitigated dumpster fire. The backend literally couldn't scale for many reasons, and it was a rats nest of different databases and random libraries. For example, each connection required a discrete process for managing the BOSH session (as in, one process had to be dedicated for the entire time someone was connected to HipChat)
Stride wasn't really any better, their whole strategy was to outsource the backend to PubNub
