what is build minute

[Anusha Muthyala]

Is build minute related to commits, because we do a lot of commits.

Not really.  A build minute is a minute spent by a pipeline building whatever you've configured to be built.  For example, if you have a project which typically takes 4 minutes to do a build and you run a build 6 times a day, you will consume 24 build minutes a day.  The usual (distant) relationship to a commit is simply that commits often trigger builds.

Atlassian give you a certain amount of minutes per month for free, then you need to buy more if your pipelines begin to use them all up.

Hi Nic,

Thanks for the response.

Have two things to clarify,

1. Where do we configure a build?

2. Does every commit, run a build?

1. Start at https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/build-test-and-deploy-with-pipelines-792496469.html

2. It can, but it's up to you what the triggers are
