* Tech stack - Bamboo is suitable for any language, and other popular technologies like AWS CodeDeply, Docker, and Amazon S3. You can choose from a big variety of available tasks for both build and deployment projects, or search for free add-ons! * Deployment projects - Bamboo gives deployments the first-class treatment with deployment projects and environments. A deployment project holds the software project you are deploying: releases that have been built and tested, and the environments to which releases are deployed. * Dedicated agents - With Bamboo's dedicate agents feature, you can run hot fixes and critical builds right away! When you dedicate an agent, no other activity will be able to use it, unless it is dedicated to that activity as well. This means no wait in the queue for free build agents when there are critical bugs to fix! * Visibility - Before deploying a new release, see the full roll-up of code changes and JIRA software issues that have come in since the previous deploy. Ops teams can anticipate what they'll be responsible for deploying and supporting in production, and release managers get a clear view of what is going live. * Bamboo + Bitbucket + JIRA Software * Integrate the three for full traceability. * Connect Bamboo to Bitbucket and JIRA Software and follow the development process from planning to final delivery. Get full visibility on builds, pull requests, deployments, and more. * Parallel tests - Bamboo supports up to 100 remote build agents, giving you the power to run batches of tests in parallel, keep the queue flowing, and get feedback to developers quickly. * Docker agents - Other than Docker tasks for build plans and deployments that let you create your own image and push it to a registry, there are ready to use Bamboo agent images on Docker Hub to grab and run. * Permissions - With per-environment permissions, developers and QA can deploy to their own environments on demand while production stays locked down. Build engineers and ops teams spend less time servicing deploy requests, and one more bottleneck bites the dust. * Quarantine - Don't let red builds become the norm. Keep flakey or broken tests out of sight (but not out of mind), and keep the build green with one-click quarantine.

* Model complex workflows - With its parallel and sequential execution, GoCD can easily configure dependencies for fast feedback and on-demand deployment. Its fan-in/fan-out dependency management always does the "right thing," avoiding spurious builds. * Promote trusted artifacts - Every pipeline instance is anchored to a particular changeset. GoCD makes it easy to pass once-built binaries between stages so you know exactly what's being deployed and that the binary has been tested. * See how your workflow really works - GoCD's real power is in the visibility it provides over your end-to-end workflow. GoCD's Value Stream Map lets you track a change from commit to deploy at a glance. And when things go wrong, it's easy to see both the upstream cause and the downstream effects. * Deploy any version, any time - GoCD's manual triggers allow you to deploy any known good version of your application to wherever you like. This increases reliability of pushing to production, and empowers QA teams with self-service environments. And, if necessary, it's securable and auditable. * Run and grok your tests - Verification is a key piece of any deployment pipeline. GoCD will execute tests written in most languages or frameworks. GoCD's agent grid provides parallel and cross-platform execution. GoCD's test reporting will tell you in exactly which changeset and on which platform a test started breaking, which comes in extremely handy when fixing a complex broken build. * Compare builds - GoCD's compare builds feature can provide a simple bill of materials for any deployment. Perhaps more powerful is its ability to compare the content - both files and commit messages - across any two arbitrary builds. This is invaluable when troubleshooting a broken pipeline. * Eliminate bottlenecks - GoCD's agent grid eliminates bottlenecks, providing trivial parallel execution across pipelines, platforms, versions, branches, etc. * Keep configuration tidy - Easily reuse pipeline configurations via GoCD's template system. This makes managing pipelines for versions and branches easy as pie. * Trust your team; be responsible - While most enterprise applications go overboard with their permission model, GoCD seeks to provide just enough. In particular, GoCD supports auditable deployment and can delegate the configuration of pipelines to users without full-blown admin privileges.
