Changes to Bitbucket Pipelines due to crypto mining abuse
Over the last months, Bitbucket Pipelines has experienced a massive increase in abuse from bad actors taking advantage of the free minutes to mine cryptocurrencies.

Deprecating Atlassian account password for Git and Bitbucket API activity
Starting Mar 1, 2022, Bitbucket users will no longer be able to use their Atlassian account password to interact with Bitbucket via Git over https and the Bitbucket API.

What DevOps means to devs
It used to be simple: write code, test it locally, deploy to prod, everything runs perfectly forever. Right? Wrong! Software development is messy, and growing more complex every day. Doing DevOps isn’t just committing code once it has passed a prescribed set of unit tests on your machine. Adopting the benefits of DevOps means you’re […]
How Statuspage deploys continuously with Bitbucket and Sleuth

Extinguishing our performance fires and rebuilding for the future
I stepped into the role of Head of Engineering for Bitbucket Cloud in late 2020, having served as one of the team’s senior engineering managers for several years. It is an honor and a privilege to lead this team, and I couldn’t be prouder of the hard work we’ve done and continue to do each […]
Integrate security into development with Snyk, now a seamless part of Bitbucket Cloud
Even small vulnerabilities can cost a team a lot. All too frequently we see news reports of organisations that mishandled their code & build level security, causing customer data to be exposed. The high publicity of these mistakes proves that security is now table-stakes in the DevOps world. Today, teams need to be able to […]

Introducing a New Pull Request Sidebar
Bitbucket Cloud’s pull request sidebar is useful because it displays all the relevant details of the pull request you’re looking at. However, with so much information present, it can be hard to find the information you need. To address feedback we’ve received about its readability and usability, we’ve given it a redesign. Tabs for easier […]
Manual steps in parallel groups available for Pipelines
Bitbucket Pipelines now allows steps with a manual trigger to be used in parallel groups, satisfying one of the highest voted feature requests.

Add file attachments to pull requests in Bitbucket Cloud
During code review, static image files might not be adequate when a developer wants to demo their changes. Starting now, teams can attach any type of file to a pull request. No need to worry about the file size either. For example, “before and after” screen recordings can be uploaded and viewed directly in a […]

Pipelines originally supported deployments to up to 10 environments, but we’re […]
4 Bitbucket and Slack hacks to speed up your workflow, from actual devs
While working from home is the new normal, communicating and collaborating virtually hasn’t become any easier. And for developers, being productive while at home has its own set of challenges (we’re thinking of things like figuring out how to pair program over Zoom or how to make do with only a single monitor). In times […]
Automatic Merging When Builds Pass
Today Bitbucket is releasing a new labs feature, “Pending Merges”, which allows for automatic merging of pull requests when builds pass. This means no more continually checking back in on your pull request, just waiting and waiting for your builds to pass before you can finally merge it. You will no longer be forced to […]
Conditional steps and improvements to logs in Bitbucket Pipelines
We recently shipped a number of improvements to Bitbucket Pipelines, helping you interact with pipeline logs and giving you greater flexibility with your pipeline with conditional steps.
