It integrates well with tools like Jenkins and Kubernetes for CI/CD, and with Jira for issue tracking. Bitbucket Pipelines add automation, allowing for automated testing, deployment, and monitoring. In DevSecOps, Bitbucket can integrate security scans in pipelines to identify vulnerabilities early in the development cycle.
