Hi @Hemant Chigadani,

Welcome to the community.

If you'd like to run your builds on Bitbucket Cloud Pipelines infrastructure, you can only use up to 8 GB memory (size: 2x).
However, if you're using Bitbucket Cloud Pipelines self-hosted runners, you can configure your build to use up to 32 GB (size: 8x) without additional cost, given the self-hosted machine has the memory capacity.

Regards,
Mark C

Thank you @Mark C  for the reply.

I had previously tried self-hosted runners, in this approach an instance of runners always be running irrespective its used or not. 

Is there way I could spine up the runner as and then required based on the pipeline triggers/events?

Thank you.

Hi @Hemant Chigadani

Would you be able to confirm if you're referring to autoscaling runners?

Yes @Mark C 

Thats correct autoscaling runners 
https://bitbucket.org/bitbucketpipelines/runners-autoscaler/src/2.2.3/

Or
any other mean where bitbucket can support runner scalability zero to many based on bitbucket events,

thanks

Hi @Hemant Chigadani,

Unfortunately, we don't officially support auto-scaling in Pipelines runners at the moment.
We do have an existing feature request for it that can be located through this link. - https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-21343
You can upvote and watch it for now so that you'll be notified of any updates from our team when the feature becomes available on Bitbucket Cloud.

As a workaround, you can use the runners-autoscaler script which only autoscale runners according to the current workload in the build.
Sadly, there's no option to autoscale runners based on triggers or events.

Mark C

Thank you for the information, Mark.

I appreciate the clarification on the current limitations regarding auto-scaling in Pipelines runners. As someone who manages both a web development business and an appliance repair service (Al Karama Washer Repair Services), efficient automation is crucial for maintaining smooth operations across various tasks. I’ll look into the runners-autoscaler script as a temporary solution. Meanwhile, I’ve upvoted and will keep an eye on the feature request.

Best regards,
Al Karama
