Case Study: Splunk achieves faster development cycles and 3x more code reviews with Atlassian Bitbucket

Bitbucket helps Splunk transition to Git and deliver high-quality code faster, more efficiently

Splunk, a fast-growing data software company with distributed engineering teams, needed to migrate from Perforce to Git while maintaining transparency and collaboration across its global organization. Already using Atlassian tools like Jira Software Data Center, Confluence, Bamboo, and Hipchat, Splunk evaluated several Git solutions and chose Bitbucket Data Center to support its complex, scalable development practices.

Atlassian Platinum Expert Praecipio Consulting helped install Bitbucket Data Center and architect the migration path, enabling tight integration with Splunk’s existing Atlassian ecosystem. The move to Git and Bitbucket delivered faster development cycles, greater transparency, and a unified platform—developers adopted Git quickly, code reviews tripled, and the company saw fewer bugs and support tickets and higher-quality releases.
