Jenkins to Bitbucket Pipelines migration tool: open beta now available!

[#1]

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Jenkins to Bitbucket Pipelines migration tool open beta! Have questions about migrating from Jenkins to Bitbucket Pipelines? Post your questions directly on this thread and someone from the Pipelines team will respond.

Why migrate to Bitbucket Pipelines?

Migrating to Bitbucket Pipelines means leveraging a fully managed, cloud-based CI/CD platform that eliminates operational overhead and supports elastic scaling. Unlike on-prem CI/CD systems that often lead to bottlenecks and delays, Pipelines ensures builds start instantly, regardless of demand. Plus, when looking at total cost of ownership, cloud-based CI/CD can be up to 70% cheaper to run at scale than self-hosted equivalents due to the massive reduction in operational overheads that come along with running your own on-prem CI platform.

How does it work? 

The Jenkins to Bitbucket Pipelines Migration Tool is an open-source solution designed to simplify converting Jenkins declarative pipelines into Pipelines YAML syntax. It supports common Jenkins features and highlights any unconverted elements for manual review. The tool’s extensibility also allows developers to address custom plugins, ensuring greater flexibility for complex workflows.  

We welcome contributions from the community to expand the tool’s capabilities and support for more Jenkins plugins and use cases.
