JFrog released a solution with Atlassian that provides a streamlined DevOps lifecycle solution spanning from source configuration management to continuous integration to binary management and distribution.

The integration between Atlassian Bitbucket Cloud and the JFrog platform addresses a gap in the current DevOps cloud market by answering the question: “Are we ready to release?”

Release readiness can be difficult to gauge when dealing with a variety of systems, artifacts, builds and repositories. Typically, the release manager must track down developers to see if their features are complete, then check with testers to make sure that the features look good. The possibility of QA testing the wrong artifact has always been a risk resulting in additional test cycles, crashes and inevitably customer complaints – until today.

“With the new Bitbucket Connect add-on, release managers are now able to view the entire ‘chain of custody’ of an artifact directly within the Bitbucket user interface. This includes the entire workflow from Bitbucket, the continuous integration server, JFrog Artifactory and JFrog Bintray,” said Shlomi Ben Haim, co-founder and CEO of JFrog. “Many of our existing JFrog Artifactory customers are already Bitbucket users. Delivering one unified solution demonstrates our commitment to working together to respond to customer demand.”

Atlassian Bitbucket Cloud is a Git repository management solution designed for professional teams. Users can host repositories in the cloud, collaborate around their source code and manage their development process – all within Bitbucket.

The new solution enables seamless integration between Atlassian Bitbucket, JFrog Artifactory and JFrog Bintray, resulting in a commit to distribute solution. It also provides a visualization dashboard that allows Release and Delivery managers to see the full pipeline from check-in to distribution.

This solution is available immediately for download from the Atlassian Marketplace.
