Case Study: Redfin achieves 3x faster software releases with Atlassian Bitbucket

With Atlassian, Redfin Releases Software 3x Faster

Redfin, a Seattle-based real estate brokerage, needed to deliver real-time, accurate property information to buyers and sellers and accelerate its software delivery to keep its website and apps up to date. The engineering team faced challenges around source control performance, build scalability, workflow visibility, and company-wide documentation as they sought to move faster without increasing operational overhead.

By adopting Atlassian tools—migrating to Git with Bitbucket, managing work and workflows in JIRA Cloud, automating scalable builds with Bamboo Cloud, and introducing Confluence for documentation—Redfin streamlined development and operations. The result: more reliable tooling, lower infrastructure costs through on-demand AWS builds, and a threefold improvement in release cadence (from one release every three weeks to weekly releases plus a daily release), enabling continuous shipping and improved site availability.
