Bitbucket Pipelines review

Bitbucket Pipelines is the low-cost choice for teams that already use Jira. It is built into Bitbucket Cloud, so there are no plugins to install, and deployments link back to Jira tickets so product managers can see what shipped. Pipelines can run on Atlassian's hosted runners or on your own runners behind a firewall, and Atlassian says builds work with any language and on Linux, Windows and macOS for x86 and ARM. Pipes provide ready-made integrations, and workflows can change at runtime based on code changes. The Free plan covers up to 5 users with 50 build minutes to get started. Standard costs $3.65 per user per month and Premium $8, and extra capacity costs $10 for 1,000 minutes. Note that a step on a 2x runner counts double, so larger machines drain the allowance faster. Teams outside the Atlassian ecosystem get less from it than from the CI built into their own Git host.
