Containerize Node Microservices Using Atlassian Bitbucket Pipeline and JFrog CLI

Atlassian's Bitbucket Pipelines, launched in 2016, has become an integral tool for incorporating continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) directly into the Bitbucket git repository, offering seamless automation and extensive integrations to enhance workflows. This blog post outlines how Bitbucket Pipelines can effectively integrate with JFrog products to containerize and distribute Node.js applications in a scalable manner. The integration involves using JFrog Artifactory as a repository manager, JFrog Xray for scanning vulnerabilities, and JFrog Bintray for distributing build artifacts, all facilitated through the JFrog CLI. The process is detailed step-by-step, from setting up the environment and cloning projects to publishing npm packages, building Docker images, and automating the entire workflow via Bitbucket Pipelines. The synergy between Atlassian and JFrog provides a robust solution for managing build information, enhancing visibility of dependencies, and ensuring secure and efficient software delivery.
