Bitbucket Pipelines has seen amazing adoption over recent years, with millions of developers and teams using it to build better software every day. As part of our ongoing commitment to improving performance and reliability, we are in the process of making enhancements to our cloud infrastructure. These changes will also unlock a range of powerful new capabilities for customers that will turbocharge their CI/CD workloads and empower engineers to focus more of their energy on building great software.

As part of the graduation of custom merge checks from open-beta to general availability (GA) that is planned for late-April 2024, we're making a range of changes to several areas of the core Bitbucket Cloud workflow. This includes changes to the core pull request review and authoring experience, as well as changes to how merge checks are configured within a repository. Different changes will be relevant to different audiences, so feel free to use the navigation shortcuts below.

Today, modern software organizations’ requirements for DevOps tooling has become more sophisticated and bespoke. We hear from many customers that they are building large, complex systems to augment and extend their DevOps workflows in ways that don't work well with the tools they're using. This is why Bitbucket Cloud is on a mission to become the world's most extensible cloud SCM and CI/CD product.

Use these strategies to align expectations, streamline communication, and crush your goals.

Bitbucket Cloud is excited to announce the general availability release of our integration with Atlassian’s Forge extensibility platform, marking a significant step forward in our journey to build an infinitely extensible code and CI/CD solution; a concept we've labelled the DevOps Automation Platform. Forge is Atlassian's cloud app development platform, allowing developers to host apps on infrastructure that is provisioned, managed, monitored, and scaled automatically by Atlassian.

We are excited to announce that unified user management is now generally available for new Bitbucket Cloud workspaces. Unified user management brings Bitbucket user, group, and product access management to Atlassian Admin. This means that you can manage users across your Atlassian tools in one unified place and connect to external directories via Atlassian Access.

Don’t let your retros become stale, check-the-box-and-let’s-get-outta-here exercises that serve no purpose. Use these ideas to keep your team engaged.

Bitbucket Cloud is on a mission to become the most extensible cloud SCM and CI/CD product in the market. We believe that extensibility is a key enabler for large, complex organisations to operate effectively in the cloud, and we are excited to be leveraging Atlassian’s industry-leading extensibility platform, Forge, to bring this mission to life.

Bitbucket Cloud is excited to introduce a new feature to streamline the way you communicate pull request feedback to your colleagues. You now have the option on pull requests to batch comments into a single review. By doing this, you submit all your feedback at once, letting other PR participants know – with a single email notification – that you have finished your code review.

We are excited to announce webhook secrets, a powerful new feature that will provide an extra layer of security for your webhook payloads in Bitbucket Cloud. With the ability to add secrets to webhooks, you can now sign webhook payloads to ensure they are coming from Bitbucket Cloud and protect against unauthorized access.
