Agentic Pipelines | Bitbucket Blitz | Atlassian

Most CI/CD pipelines are fragile bash scripts that break when things change. What if your pipeline could think? Agentic Pipelines lets you add AI agents as steps in Bitbucket Pipelines. In this video, I show an agent that reads a design spec from Confluence, generates frontend code, runs tests, and opens a PR, all inside a pipeline. With Agentic Pipelines, Bitbucket goes from a CI/CD platform to a full workflow and automation engine you can use far beyond builds and deploys.

Building with AI: Our Approach to Responsible Agentic Development in Open Source

The tech world has been building up towards the shift to a fully agentic development life cycle for a few years now. AI is changing how software gets built. Across the Puppet ecosystem, we’re seeing a shift toward more agentic engineering workflows. AI helps generate code, shape documentation, and accelerate how Puppet modules evolve.

How to Choose the Right Infrastructure Monitoring Tool

A production service degrades, and one question decides the next hour: is it the server, the network, or a cloud dependency? Each layer usually reports into a separate console, so pinning down the answer can absorb an hour the business would rather not lose. The right infrastructure monitoring tool is what turns that hour into minutes. On paper, most monitoring platforms look identical. Each one promises full-stack visibility and shows a polished dashboard.

Ensuring Business Continuity in Adverse Conditions

Businesses will always face disruptions. Whether it's a big storm, a broken supply chain, or a power outage, unexpected problems can bring operations to a halt, hurting your income, your reputation, and how much customers trust you. The companies that make it through these tough times, and those that don't, often come down to one thing: resilience. Being a resilient organization isn't about building an unshakeable fortress. It's about being flexible, thinking ahead, and having the right systems to bounce back when disruptions occur.

The Failure Mode Your Runbook Probably Does Not Cover

Operations teams rehearse plenty of scenarios. Failed deployments, database corruption, certificate expiry, a region going dark, the on-call engineer who cannot be reached. What gets rehearsed far less often is the building losing power for eleven hours, because that feels like somebody else's problem, filed under facilities alongside the air conditioning and the parking barrier. It stops being somebody else's problem at the moment the UPS batteries drain and everything still running on premises goes down at once.

Incident Response Communication: Why Ops Teams Own the Narrative

Your monitoring stack flagged the outage in 90 seconds. A customer posted about it in 40. That gap is now the defining challenge of incident response communication. Ops teams have spent years driving down recovery times, yet very few track how quickly a public explanation takes shape. This article looks at how teams can monitor both timelines - and respond before speculation hardens into accepted fact.

How to Build a Reliable Review Gate for AI Generated 3D Assets

A creative team generates twenty 3D props in an afternoon. The files look acceptable in preview images, so they are placed directly into the shared asset library. Days later, developers discover inconsistent scale, missing textures, reversed normals and several models with unclear ownership or revision status. The generation process worked. The production process did not.

What to Consider Before Coordinating a Large-Scale Relocation

Relocating an entire office is not a simple task you knock out over a weekend. It's a high-pressure operation with real consequences, for your people, your productivity, and your bottom line. Even well-funded companies have botched moves badly. We're talking confused staff, broken equipment, and delays that bleed into weeks. The complexity has a way of sneaking up on you if you're not ready for it. Knowing what to prepare for, compliance, communication, logistics, the whole picture, is what separates a move that accelerates your business from one that quietly unravels it.

Imaginary Test Data. Real Token Bill.

Ask an AI for K-pop concert advice without saying the group, city, date, or budget. It may confidently send you to a BLACKPINK tribute night in Cleveland with a $400 resale ticket. The AI was plenty confident. It just had nothing real to go on. That is exactly what happens when developers test AI applications with invented traffic. The test may look reasonable. The result may even pass.
