>> Atlassian is nothing if not consistently mediocre at integrating their purchased properties into each other.
I can't think of any company off the top of my head that has acquired a company and successfully integrated their tech stack into their own product offering. I work for a huge health care company whose stated goals are to grow through acquisition and in the 5 years I've been here, none of the painfully long process of integrating another companies tech has gone well - at all.
If anybody has any good examples of this happening, I would love to read about them.

I believe there was integration of a pricing service into the newly acquired business' system as well as point of sale system updates that could talk to both backends, but there was strong motivation here to have uninterrupted service and to keep costs low. Before too long the acquired company's systems were phased out and all customers were migrated to the new systems.
