Overview

Bitbucket is Atlassian's hosted Git service for source code, pull requests and CI/CD. Bitbucket Pipelines runs builds, tests and deployments from a YAML file committed to the repository, on hosted or self-hosted runners. It connects to Jira so branches, pull requests and deployment status show against issues, and it includes a package registry for container images.

Best for: Teams already using Jira that want hosted Git repositories with built-in CI/CD pipelines.
Pricing: Free for up to 5 users, then $3.65 per user/month for Standard or $7.25 per user/month for Premium, with paid add-ons for build minutes, storage and runner slots.
Runs on: Self-hosted
