Bitbucket is designed for development teams that want more than a Git repo - it provides source management, code review, CI/CD pipelines and tracking in a single interface. The platform offers private repository hosting in the cloud and a self-hosted "Data Center" option for larger organizations.
One major advantage of Bitbucket is its tight integration with other Atlassian tools like Jira Software and Confluence, which smooths workflows between planning, coding and deployment. Bitbucket is particularly well-suited for teams prioritizing private or internal development rather than large open-source projects, distinguishing it from platforms like GitHub.
If you already use Atlassian tools or plan to combine code, issue tracking and deployment, Bitbucket can be a natural fit.
