NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) uses a host of Atlassian products to build the software used for flight mission planning as well as modeling data sent back from satellites and Mars rovers. I sat down with David Mittman, lead software developer and "default Atlassian guy" at JPL to get a closer look at what they're up to. JPL was founded in the 1930s as a place to test new rocket technologies, and—after the creation of NASA in 1958—was chartered with developing the robotic spacecraft

Today, we are introducing Bitbucket Links. With Bitbucket Links, you can use issue keys to link to JIRA or other development tools you use straight from Bitbucket. The

As a software company boasting 15 products and add-ons, as well as dozens of plugins for them, Atlassian builds a lot of code.  I mean, a LOT of code. We're also famous for eating our own dogfood, so of course we use Bamboo to orchestrate it all.  Conducting the orchestra is a small and dedicated team of nerds we creatively call "Build Engineering".  This team manages multiple Bamboo instances, each with well over 100 Plans and scores of agents to do the work. The agents allow us to
