Bitbucket

Run your own checks on every deployment

Bitbucket Cloud adds custom deployment checks in beta. Forge apps can allow, block, or hold a Bitbucket Pipelines deployment at the workspace, project, or repository level. It is coming soon to Atlassian Cloud.

  • Coming soon
  • Low impact
  • Admin review: api change

What it is

New feature

Admins can install Forge apps that act as deployment checks and target them at chosen deployment environments. A check can let a deployment proceed, block it with a message, or hold it until the app reports a final result. On the Premium plan, a check can be required, so a failure blocks the deployment. On other plans, checks run without blocking.

Users

When a check blocks a deployment, the message appears next to that deployment.

Admins

Workspace admins install the Forge apps and enable the feature. Admins at each level can add checks and disable inherited checks or their own.

Developers

Developers can build a Forge app with the bitbucket:deploymentCheck module, or use Forge Remote, to supply checks.
