The democratizing nature of DevOps has seen the responsibility of building and managing CI/CD pipelines transition from specialized release engineers to developers. But automating a robust, dependable CI/CD pipeline is tedious work. Developers need to connect to multiple tools to deliver software, and writing pipeline integrations for these services is a manual, error-prone process. There's research involved to ensure dependencies are accounted for, as well as debugging and maintaining integrations when updates are made. It's no wonder many teams put automating CI/CD firmly in the "too hard" basket.
Bitbucket Pipelines is a CI/CD tool in the cloud that's part of your repository and makes it easy for developers to configure pipelines with code. We are launching Bitbucket Pipes to make it easier to build powerful, automated CI/CD workflows in a plug-and-play fashion without the hassle of managing integrations. We've worked with industry leaders including Microsoft, AWS, Slack, Google Cloud, and more to build supported pipes that help automate your CI/CD pipeline, and made it simple to create your own to help abstract any duplicated configuration across your repositories.
