How We Turned Feature Flag Cleanup Into a Mostly‑Hands‑Off AI Workflow
Problem In Atlassian, we ship every new feature and code path behind a feature flag to stage rollouts safely and learn quickly about problems. As products mature, feature flags accumulate. Each successful rollout leaves behind dead code paths, stale configuration, and follow‑up tickets to “clean up the flag later”. With company‑wide requirements for feature flag […]

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. […]
