Overall Satisfaction with Bamboo
The vast majority of our organization uses Bamboo for our CICD pipelines. It handles building our applications, running code quality and security scans, running unit & integration tests, and deploying our applications to multiple environments - usually to Cloud Foundry or virtual machines. We sometimes use it for automated reporting or operations tasks such as restarting applications.
Pros
- Straightforward/easy to use web interface
- Wide variety of tasks and plugins available
- Built-in artifact repository
Cons
- Not aware of newer cloud deployment patterns such as blue/green
- Pipeline-as-code (Java Specs, yml) can be frustrating to use
- Difficult to share variables/secrets between build projects and deployment projects
- Difficult to adhere to segregation of duties requirements using access controls
- Bitbucket Integration
- Long build & deploy history/logs, for troubleshooting and audit
- Granular access permissions
- Flexible triggers including scheduled builds
- Code quality is improved with automated enforcement
- Deployment and rollback of applications has become fast and easy, minimizing production impact when (self-inflicted) issues occur
- Teams are managing their own pipelines, limiting the need for dedicated DevOps teams
