how to backup Pipeline Variables?

[Philippe Chaudun]

Hello,

We have a lot Pipeline variables to manage on some project and I'd like to know how to backup those variables.

I thank you for any help on this topic.

Best,

Philippe

There is no backup functionality in pipelines.

Probably the best approach I can recommend is to create some kind of 'configuration as code' setup, like terraform (I don't this there is terraform tooling specific to pipelines though) that would  be setting up the variables through an automated process by calling the rest endpoints at - https://developer.atlassian.com/bitbucket/api/2/reference/resource/repositories/%7Bworkspace%7D/%7Brepo_slug%7D/pipelines_config/variables

that way one can reliably roll out changes across multiple repositories, have them peer reviewed and and possibly rollback easily in case of a disaster
