Case Study: Splunk achieves 3x more code reviews and faster, higher-quality releases with Atlassian Bitbucket

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

Splunk, a fast-growing company that builds software to make big data scalable and usable, relies on a distributed engineering organization and an Atlassian toolchain (Jira, Confluence, Bamboo, HipChat). When Splunk decided to migrate from Perforce to Git, it evaluated several repository managers — including GitHub Enterprise — and ultimately chose Bitbucket Data Center to fit its complex, global development needs.

Atlassian Platinum partner Praecipio Consulting implemented Bitbucket Data Center and architected the migration path, enabling tight integration with Splunk’s existing Atlassian ecosystem and rapid developer adoption. The move to Git and Bitbucket produced faster development cycles, greater transparency and a unified platform — enabling 3x as many code reviews and resulting in fewer bugs, fewer support tickets, and better software.
