To Bitbucket from Jenkins: Enhancing Developer Experience
Atlassian’s Bitbucket Cloud has tightly integrated CI/CD capabilities via its Bitbucket Pipelines feature set.

Enhancements to Bitbucket Pipelines step conditions
Not every file change in our repository requires running a pipeline. For changes to files, such as README, .gitignore, and CODEOWNERS, you may not want to run 30-minute browser tests or full deployment pipelines. To allow you to skip steps for low-impact file changes and eventually make your pipelines run faster, we are introducing a […]
Atlassian named a Leader in the 2025 Forrester Wave™ for DevOps Platforms
AI to streamline software development workflows, from idea to operations
Introducing Runtime v3 – Multi-arch images and more control over Docker
Historically, when using the Pipelines Docker service, the step would automatically have the Docker CLI executable mounted into the build container. While this approach was initially convenient and helped onboard new customers, it limited flexibility in several areas. For example, customers couldn’t easily use the latest docker buildx features because the CLI version was pinned. […]
Use variables in any part of your Pipelines .yaml
In the past, variables in Bitbucket Pipelines were scoped to only operate within script sections of a Pipelines workflow. This limited their usefulness and restricted users from being able to fully parameterize their workflows. Today we are releasing an enhancement that will allow variables to be used within any section of a Pipelines .yaml file, […]
