"Bamboo for CI/CD"

4/5

What do you like best about Bamboo?

1. Works best with Jira, Bitbucket, Confluence, etc., which helps in tracking all the Jira issues in a build and allows navigation to Bitbucket to see exact commits and details in a particular build. 2. We can run builds in parallel across multiple agents, which can be very useful in large teams. 3. Unlike other CI/CD tools, Bamboo has dedicated deployment projects for each project, which helps in isolating deployment logic from build logic. 4. It has scripts, custom tasks, and environment variables that can be used to automate specific tasks like pushing certain things over the cloud, generating bundles (we had a requirement where we wanted to publish keys to a third-party web app before deploying the code on production, and we were able to achieve this in Bamboo with the help of scripts). 5. We can integrate Docker to generate images, which reduces the deployment time significantly. 6. It's very easy to use; anyone with no prior experience, with a little bit of guidance, would be able to use Bamboo. 7. It has excellent customer support. 8. We use it on a daily basis for all our deployment and building artifacts. 9. It is easy to implement, providing easy integration with Atlassian products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bamboo?

It is server-only, which means tasks are executed on the Bamboo server itself and are not allowed to run on remote agents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. It helps in automatic build creation, running test cases, and deployment of code across environments without any chances of human errors. 2. It helps in tracking every build to Jira issues and commits, which helps in reducing duplicate work. 3. It has rollback capability to revert changes back if some code is not working in a certain environment. 4. We can track versions of builds deployed on each environment in case certain code is working in some environments and not in others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
