Your patch window just went from 30 days to hours

Thanks to AI, vulnerability disclosures are exploding. In mid 2026, we're seeing 130+ a day and climbing, with roughly a quarter already being exploited in the wild before they're even disclosed. The result: security teams that used to have 30 days to respond now feel pressure to issue patches in a few days or hours. This video covers why "are we safe?" isn't a question you get to answer once: That last drill is what separates teams that panic when a real incident hits from teams that already know the answer.

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 step or tried to make one set of global defaults work for everything.

SBOMs are easy for one project, monumental at scale

Think of an SBOM as your ingredient list. A common language describing everything that goes into a piece of software, every dependency and version, in one place. This video covers why SBOMs have gone from niche to mandatory, and why they're harder to pull off than the concept suggests: The concept is simple. Operationalizing it across a large, diverse tech stack is where it gets hard.

Connect Codex to CircleCI: Fix Failing CI Without Leaving Your Terminal

Connect Codex to CircleCI and give your coding agent direct access to the CI feedback it needs to keep working. In this tutorial, we’ll walk through setting up the CircleCI CLI and CircleCI plugin for Codex, then show how Codex can check pipeline results, validate your CircleCI config, diagnose failed builds, trigger new pipelines, and keep iterating on a fix until CI is green. Instead of bouncing between your terminal and CircleCI to copy logs and errors back to your agent, you can bring the full CI feedback loop directly into your Codex session.

Monitor test health at a glance in Bitbucket Tests

When a team relies on automated tests in CI/CD, knowing that tests ran is only the beginning. Understanding whether the suite is healthy, which tests need attention, and how a specific test has behaved over time — that’s what drives action. Bitbucket Tests is evolving to make those answers easier to find and give you tools to improve your test health.

You probably already have most of what CRA requires

CRA compliance is similar to other frameworks, like ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, or PCI DSS, in that the same approach applies: define your scope, figure out your product classification, then work through the list of controls. This video covers why that's less daunting than it sounds: CRA compliance isn't a one-time milestone. If you're selling into Europe, you need to continuously meet it.

Container hardening isn't a substitute for artifact management

Hardened base images are a great secure foundation. They're minimal, security-vetted, and have few dependencies to worry about. But almost nobody ships a bare base image. Teams build on top of it. This video cover whys that "on top of it" layer is where the risk actually lives: Skip the base image hardening and you're building on a shaky foundation. Skip artifact management and you're leaving everything built on top of that foundation ungoverned. A strong posture uses both.

Headless vs. Traditional Web Architecture: What DevOps Teams Need to Consider

DevOps teams face a critical architectural decision when building modern web applications: should they stick with traditional, monolithic systems or embrace headless architecture? This choice affects everything from deployment workflows to team collaboration, performance optimization, and long-term maintenance costs. Understanding the technical and operational implications of each approach helps teams make informed decisions that align with their specific requirements.

What's actually inside your SBOM (and why it matters)

An SBOM is more than a compliance checkbox. It's literally a bill of materials for your product: every software component that makes it into what you ship, plus the metadata that tells you whether it's safe to use. This video covers what that metadata actually does for you: An SBOM earns its keep when it shows you what's actually there, version to version, on a continual basis.
