Introducing the Bamboo to Bitbucket Pipelines migration tool (Beta)
With the Bamboo Data Center End of Life (EOL) scheduled for March 28, 2029, many teams are already mapping out their long-term journey to the cloud. While 2029 provides a comfortable runway, we want to make sure we offer the right bridge when you’re ready to migrate. Moving your critical CI/CD workflows from Bamboo to […]
Agent Context Pruning: How Rovo Dev keeps long sessions useful
AI agents become more useful as they work through longer tasks. But longer tasks also create a memory problem. A serious coding agent accumulates a growing trail of context: user requests, assistant responses, tool arguments, tool results, file contents, search results, workspace views, and intermediate reasoning steps. Over time, that history can become large enough […]
MCP Compression: Preventing tool bloat in AI agents
Model Context Protocol (MCP) has made it dramatically easier to connect LLM agents to real tools. The trade-off is that every MCP server tends to bring along a large bundle of tool descriptions and schemas, and those tokens are expensive. In Rovo Dev, we found that if you simply expose every tool from every server […]
Delivering 120 PRs in two weeks with Rovo Dev in Jira
I’ve had a pretty good experience with our Rovo Dev in Jira solution in the past few weeks. I estimate that I do probably 95% or more of my dev work in it nowadays. I found it super helpful to delegate low to medium complexity tasks to the coding agent while I do something else […]
Announcing the Next Chapter for Bitbucket Pipelines Runners
In December 2025, we announced our intention to introduce pricing for self-hosted runners so we could provide stronger support and keep investing in new features and ongoing improvements. You’ve told us that having a free option is important. As a result, we’re introducing a new operating model that lets you continue using self‑hosted runners for […]
Introducing Flaky Test Detection in Bitbucket Tests
Ship faster with signal, not noise Flaky tests erode trust in your pipeline, waste CI minutes, and slow down deployments. What if your CI could spot and silence them automatically? In January, we launched Tests in Bitbucket Pipelines—a new way to track, organize, and optimize tests right where your builds run. For the first time, […]
Authenticate Bitbucket Packages with native Pipelines authentication
When we launched Bitbucket Packages, a native container registry, our goal was to let developers manage code, CI/CD, and container images in one place. Today, we enhance that experience by introducing a feature that removes a common CI/CD authentication friction: you can now authenticate with the Bitbucket Packages container registry using Bitbucket Pipelines’ built-in authentication for Bitbucket Packages, no […]

Advancing semantic search for millions of Rovo users
Rovo brings meaning‑aware search, chat, and agents to Jira, Confluence, and your connected tools, so teams can quickly find the right artifacts and move forward with confidence. Instead of forcing you to remember exact titles or ticket IDs, Rovo focuses on what you mean. This makes all the difference between wading through pages of loosely […]
Developer experience is a blueprint for enterprise productivity
Everyone buys productivity tools, but work is still hard – DevEx proves that designing how work happens matters more than working harder.
An important update on our team
I’m sharing some important news today. I have made the incredibly difficult decision to reduce the size of our team by ~10% (or ~1,600 employees). Every Atlassian will receive an email within the next 20 minutes letting you know if you are impacted, or if we’re starting consultation in your region. I believe this is […]
A Design Technologist’s Take on AI Builders Week
Last week, Atlassian hit pause on business-as-usual. 1,400 designers and product managers were invited to participate in AI Builders Week with one goal: stop theorizing about the future of work and start building it. For design, this meant pressure-testing what these tools actually change in our customers’ day-to-day experience. To make this shift possible, 108 presenters […]
Using Rovo Dev in VS Code for Architecting Solutions
When we intend to roll out a new software solution that would impact multiple teams, before implementation can start, we need to get overall alignment from all involved parties, and then detail the chosen architectural approach. Every single one of these steps can be challenging – but we have found ways to speed up every […]
