$25 billion Atlassian is releasing a new tool help developers release code faster as it takes on GitHub

Atlassian’s code collaboration tool Bitbucket, which helps developers share code and work on large-scale software projects, is now releasing a new feature called Bitbucket Pipes to help developers release code faster and more often.

Bitbucket Pipes, announced Thursday, helps users automate tests to make sure the code is working properly, and then release the code if it works — basically, setting up a pipeline for code releases. It can cut down the entire process to minutes, says Harpreet Singh, head of product for Bitbucket Cloud at Atlassian.

“What we aim to do with Pipes is: A) dramatically simplify the configuration. B) we can have multiple workflows with any number of tools out there. C) we are reducing the complexity,” Singh told Business Insider.

Singh says with Bitbucket Pipes, Atlassian follows a greater trend of how developers work with code called continuous integration, a process for continuously testing and releasing code. Increasingly, teams have to work on writing the code, testing it, and then releasing it — as opposed to having separate teams for each process, as in the past.

Taking on GitHub and GitLab

This new tool is similar to GitHub Actions, a feature that Microsoft subsidiary GitHub announced in October that allows users to build, share and execute code directly on the site. GitLab, a code management tool that competes with BitBucket and Atlassian, promotes its own built-in tools for testing and releasing code as its competitive advantage.

“We are technically very similar but the wider trajectory, the market is about automating a whole bunch of things,” Singh told Business Insider. “We want to go where the developers are instead of dictating what they should do.”

While GitLab consolidates all tools into one product, Singh says Atlassian doesn’t think that way. Instead, it sees itself as working on integrating the tools that customers use the most, and working with partners.

“We fundamentally see the world in a very different way,” Singh said. “We want to go and integrate with the best of breed tools out there and help customers succeed.”

The Walking Dead finale recap: A flicker of hope predicts big things ahead

The storm is here. The Kingdom is barren as snow begins to fall on the once thriving settlement. The fair is over, but the promised trade didn’t bring what many hoped. Their pipes still burst, the rot still spread, and this home, this beacon for so many who sought shelter from the cold apocalyptic wasteland, became untenable. So now, the King and Queen, still carrying the grief of losing their son, must now carry their people to Hilltop as a harsh blizzard descends upon them and the Whisperers still lurk in their periphery. But, once the storm passes and their friends on the hill open up their gates, it all seems like a blip on the timeline. We’re left with both hope and a promise of much bigger things to come. In the final moments before the credits roll, that radio Eugene, Rosita, and Gabriel have been tinkering with since the time jump, their initial mission that first put everyone on the warpath with the Whisperers, finally fulfilled its purpose. When the blizzard came, the power
