Bitbucket Pipelines provides teams with a one-stop solution to build, test, deploy and track their code, without ever leaving Bitbucket. Developers and release managers can easily track and visualize deployments, while non-technical teams can have visibility into what features are coming down the pipeline.

For the last four years, anyone wanting to deploy the Ingress NGINX Controller for Kubernetes would find its official Helm chart nginx-ingress in the stable repository maintained by the Helm project. Those days are over. And not just for NGINX, the most popular Ingress Controller used as a reverse proxy and load balancer, but for all open-source K8s apps. With the advent of Helm 3, the Helm project is deprecating the stable repositories.

While working from home is the new normal, communicating and collaborating virtually hasn't become any easier. And for developers, being productive while at home has its own set of challenges (we're thinking of things like figuring out how to pair program over Zoom or how to make do with only a single monitor). In times like this, our engineering team has been relying on one short-cut towards productivity: the Bitbucket Cloud bot for Slack.

All deployments are not created equal, but you'd never know it from your Slack channel notifications. In reality, some deployments you really care about, as they contain things like API changes or database migrations, and you want that information to surface. We created tags in Sleuth for this very reason. Out of the box, Sleuth matches files in your deployment with known patterns, and if any are found, tags your deployments automatically.
