A First-Class Bitbucket Integration for Vercel
Vercel has announced a new first-class integration for Bitbucket, bringing automatic deployments, built-in CI/CD, DNS, and TLS directly into Bitbucket-based workflows. Teams using Bitbucket alongside Jira and Trello can now connect their repositories to Vercel with minimal setup.
Preview Deployments Without Setup
The integration automatically provides preview deployments for feature branches. Every push to a pull request branch triggers a build and deploy to a preview URL, giving collaborators a chance to review changes before merge without any additional configuration.
Linking Your Bitbucket Account and Projects
Getting started involves two steps. First, connect your individual or team Vercel account to Bitbucket via the Git Integrations tab on the accounts page. After granting access in Bitbucket's authorization prompt, you'll also gain the ability to log in to Vercel using Bitbucket credentials in the future.
Once connected, link a specific Bitbucket project through the project dropdown. After linking, every git push to the repository is automatically built and deployed by Vercel, guided by the project's framework through zero-config or a vercel.json file.
Deployment Behavior and Rollbacks
Pushes to the repository's default branch (usually master) update your production domains. If a change is reverted on that branch, Vercel performs an instant rollback, aliasing the production domain back to the previous deployment.
For efficiency, when Vercel is still building a commit from an earlier push and a new push arrives for the same pull request, the in-progress build is canceled in favor of the most recent commit. This ensures collaborators always have the quickest access to fresh changes.
The Vercel for Bitbucket integration was a highly requested feature, and it's now available for all Bitbucket users.
