A simpler way to run AI agents in Bitbucket Pipelines
AI agents can help investigate failed builds, fix flaky tests and automate other development tasks. But setting up those agents has required more Pipelines configuration than it should. Agent-powered steps often need different compute, permissions and runtime settings from ordinary build and test steps. Until now, teams have either repeated those settings across every agent-powered […]
Agentic Pipelines now supports Claude Code
Last month, we introduced Agentic Pipelines, a new way to orchestrate AI agents to automatically, and routinely, handle the repetitive engineering chores so you can get back to solving the fun, cool problems. When we launched, Agentic Pipelines supported Atlassian’s developer AI agent, Rovo Dev. Today, we’re opening up Agentic Pipelines to even more teams: […]
Introducing on-demand Pipelines: run pipelines via API
Your CI/CD pipeline doesn’t have to live in a YAML file anymore. With on-demand pipelines, you can generate pipeline definitions programmatically, from scripts, services, or automation tools – and execute them instantly via the Pipelines API. No commit. No pull request. No static configuration to modify. Just build the YAML your situation demands and run […]
Share artifacts between parent and child pipelines
As part of an initiative to increase the flexibility and power of child pipelines, we are happy to announce that Bitbucket Pipelines will now allow you to share artifacts between parent and child pipelines. This feature extends the use-cases for child pipelines, allowing a greater degree of coordination between parent and child and the use […]
Introducing Agentic Pipelines: AI automation for chores devs don’t want to do
Bitbucket Pipelines has always been an engine for automating more than just CI/CD, but today, Pipelines takes a first step towards a full agentic automation platform for all the manual, tedious, repetitive work that happens before and after code creation. You’ve probably seen the stat: Development teams spend 84% of their day doing things other […]
Announcing the Next Chapter for Bitbucket Pipelines Runners
In December 2025, we announced our intention to introduce pricing for self-hosted runners so we could provide stronger support and keep investing in new features and ongoing improvements. You’ve told us that having a free option is important. As a result, we’re introducing a new operating model that lets you continue using self‑hosted runners for […]
OpenTelemetry traces for Bitbucket Pipelines via webhooks
Continuous delivery is only as good as your ability to understand what’s happening inside your pipelines. When a build is slow, flaky, or burning through capacity, you need more than a green/red status and a wall of logs — you need traces. Bitbucket Pipelines now exposes pipeline execution as OpenTelemetry (OTel) traces via webhook events. […]
Split your pipelines workflows across multiple files
As part of our focus on building features around team scale and performance, we are happy to announce that Bitbucket Pipelines now supports sharing of CI/CD configurations within a repository. This feature is now available as part of our Premium plan, and expands on the already introduced capability to share pipeline workflow configurations between separate […]
New Triggers for Pipeline, Deployment, and Pull Request Events
In November 2025, we added support for triggers and workflows to Bitbucket Pipelines to help your teams manage and scale complex CI/CD workflows. Today, we’re excited to extend that foundation with additional event-based triggers to run custom pipelines when other pipelines or deployments complete or when key pull request events occur. This makes it easier […]
Power up your pipeline workflow with 24x and 32x step sizes
Last year we launched 16x step sizes as part of our commitment to improve Bitbucket Pipelines performance. Demand continues to increase by customers working on increasingly complex projects. In response, we are excited to introduce the 24x and 32x build size. New CPU and memory upgrades The 24x and 32 builds offer increased CPU and […]
[Open beta] Introducing Tests in Bitbucket Pipelines
If you’ve ever watched a pull request sit for hours because of a flaky test, you know how quickly test suites can turn from safety net into bottleneck. As teams grow, test suites tend to grow even faster because every new feature, bug fix, and regression adds more tests, while old or redundant tests are […]
Announcing powerful upgrades & a new pricing model for self-hosted runners
Update (March 27th, 2026): We’ve finalised our plans for the implementation of a premium runners tier and have published all the details via a dedicated Bitbucket Cloud blog post. There are important details contained in the update that relate to the migration from the existing runners implementation to the new free/premium tiered model, so please familiarise yourself […]
Introducing Dynamic Step Condition for Bitbucket Pipelines
We’re excited to introduce a new step condition that lets you dynamically skip a step based on a boolean expression using variables available in the Pipeline context. This new capability makes pipelines smarter, faster, and more flexible. Previously, the only type of condition customers could implement were very simplistic and based on information determined prior […]
Upgrades to Pipelines Artifacts: New Artifact Types & Selective Download
We’re announcing two enhancements to Bitbucket Pipelines artifacts with: New Artifact Types: Selective Download: You can now control which artifacts download in a step by specifying the download field as a list. Why use these new features? Example: Pipeline YAML with new artifact types and selective download Important information: Feedback We’re always keen to hear […]
Reimagining how you structure workflows in Bitbucket Pipelines
As your team’s CI/CD needs grow, managing complex YAML and ensuring fast feedback can become challenging. That’s why we’re excited to announce a fundamental reimagining of how workflows are designed and implemented in Bitbucket Pipelines, designed to help your teams scale. This change is centred around one main new feature called triggers – a powerful […]
