Summary

At Cloudsmith, their mission is to make it easy for users to get packages into their system and manage them. They recently collaborated with Atlassian's Bitbucket team to build a pipe that simplifies the process of turning source code into distributable packages and deploying to Cloudsmith in just a few lines of YAML. This pipe builds on top of Bitbucket's Pipelines functionality, allowing users to automate their build and deploy processes. The Cloudsmith pipe is included in Bitbucket's collection of officially maintained pipes and can be used by default for any user who wants to include it in their pipeline. To use the pipe, users need to package their code using a Bitbucket pipeline and then add configuration to publish the package to Cloudsmith. Once configured, the pipe can be run by pushing a new tag to Bitbucket, and the resulting package is published to Cloudsmith's repository. The process allows for easy deployment of packages from source code to Cloudsmith with minimal configuration.
