What is Bitbucket, and how does it compare to GitHub and GitLab?**

Bitbucket is Atlassian’s Git repository management tool, offering deep integration with Jira and Confluence for seamless project tracking and documentation. While GitHub and GitLab are also Git-based platforms, Bitbucket stands out for its built-in CI/CD pipelines, security controls, and enterprise-friendly permissions management.

Does Bitbucket support CI/CD and automated deployments?** Yes! Bitbucket Pipelines enables built-in continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD), allowing teams to automate testing, build processes, and deployments without needing third-party tools. It integrates with AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, and Docker for scalable application delivery.

How does Bitbucket help with secure development and compliance?** Bitbucket provides branch permissions, enforced code reviews, and built-in security scans to ensure compliance with ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR. Features like IP whitelisting, two-step verification, and audit logging help protect your source code from unauthorised access.

Can Bitbucket be self-hosted, or is it only available in the cloud?** Bitbucket is available as Bitbucket Cloud, a fully managed SaaS solution, and Bitbucket Data Center, a self-hosted version designed for large enterprises requiring more control, security, and performance scalability.

How does Bitbucket integrate with Jira and other Atlassian tools?** Bitbucket offers native Jira integration, allowing teams to link commits, branches, and pull requests to Jira issues for full traceability. It also connects with Confluence for documentation, Bamboo for additional CI/CD workflows, and Opsgenie for incident management.

How do code reviews work in Bitbucket?** Bitbucket enables teams to collaborate through pull requests, where developers can review, comment, and approve code changes before merging. Features like required approvals, merge checks, and inline comments help maintain code quality and security.
