How to manage many pipeline builds for many repos

[David Cieslak]

Say I have 200 repos for which I can set-up appropriate pipelines. Is it possible to get a unified Activity Feed of deployment activity across all of my repos? I've seen the following questions/issues which seem related, but don't directly address the above:

• https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Bitbucket-questions/Can-a-pipeline-trigger-from-multiple-repositories/qaq-p/90059
• https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issues/17181/allow-users-to-define-tasks-step?_ga=2.131037003.515888965.1565710294-1606047549.1477484282

For now, the best workaround seems as though to configure a sidecar Slack (or possibly Teams) channel and to have all pipeline / deployment messaging sent there.

Hey David, 

Thanks for reaching out! We currently don't support project-level / multi-repo dashboards for pipeline or deployment activity, but we have a few open feature requests to support this that you might want to vote for / follow:

* https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issues/16400/dashboard-for-viewing-deployment-statuses

* https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issues/12765/pipeline-wallboards

* https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issues/13293/global-pipelines-activity-log

As for being able to configure Pipelines for multiple repos, you can use pipes for this. Pipes are a way to encapsulate scripts which can then be called from different repositories. For more information on how to write your own pipe, check out our guide.
