The most dangerous window is before threat intel knows about it

When a malicious package is first published, threat intelligence sources haven't flagged it yet – and every team pulling from a public registry is exposed during that entire window. The fix isn't faster scanning; it's a policy that holds new packages for a defined cooldown period before they're eligible to pull. By the time the window closes, the threat intelligence has caught up. Teams pulling direct from npm or PyPI have no equivalent enforcement layer – which is exactly how attacks like Shai-Hulud got in.

Fix flaky tests with AI, and track future test work in Jira

In January we launched Tests in Bitbucket Pipelines – a single place to track, organize, and understand your test health over time. In April we added automatic flaky test detection so unreliable tests get flagged before they slow your team down. But spotting a problem is only half the battle. Day to day, your team still needs to act on a test – track it as work, clean it up, or route it to the right person.

Unlocking efficiency with Merge Queues in Bitbucket Cloud now GA

Earlier this year, we launched Merge Queues in open beta to help teams automate, sequence, and validate pull request merges. During the beta period, we incorporated feedback from hundreds of teams to improve reliability and simplify configuration. Today, we are excited to announce that Merge Queues is generally available for Standard and Premium plans on Bitbucket Cloud.

Agentic Pipelines now supports OpenAI Codex

Bring your Codex agent into Bitbucket Pipelines. A few weeks ago, we announced support for Claude agents in Bitbucket Pipelines. Today, we’re adding OpenAI Codex as a supported agent. If your team is already using Codex on the desktop, you can now move that same workflow into your pipeline — triggered by a merge, a schedule, a failing build, or a pull request comment.

Bitbucket Packages adds PyPI and NuGet support

If your team bIf your team builds with Python or.NET, your packages have likely lived separately from your code, stored in a registry with distinct login, permissions, and billing. Starting today, they don’t have to. Bitbucket Packages now supports the Python Package Index (PyPI) and NuGet, integrating Python and.NET package management into the platform where your team writes code, reviews pull requests, and runs pipelines.

Why you should use Language Server Protocol (LSP) with Claude Code

Agentic coding tools like Claude Code can write, refactor, and debug across an entire codebase, but by default they read code as plain text, the way grep does. The Language Server Protocol (LSP) changes that: it’s the same code-intelligence layer an IDE uses, and wiring it into an agent lets it read code by meaning instead of by string match. The bigger the codebase, the more a wrong guess about a symbol costs, and the more that structural view pays off.
