What is the difference between Atlassian bitbucket and bamboo applications? I can see that bamboo is a CI/CD tool and bitbucket is a version control, but you can use bitbucket as CI/CD tool i suppose.Why do we need bamboo?

AFAIK Bitbucket doesn’t have CI tools built in. Instead that is provided by bamboo. – evolutionxbox Feb 20 '19 at 08:23

no .. bitbucket does have CI built in. Does Bamboo provide a repository? – RandomName_opt Feb 20 '19 at 19:01

“Bamboo Cloud is EOL and will be replace by Pipelines.” Is what my search results have come up with. Meaning they’re similar in features, but one will soon go away. – evolutionxbox Feb 20 '19 at 19:07

1Apologies btw. I had assumed that “Bitbucket Pipelines” _was_ bamboo. – evolutionxbox Feb 20 '19 at 19:27

Bamboo *Cloud* (hosted by Atlassian) is EOL. Bamboo *Server* (hosted by, um, you) is still a thing. – Jim Redmond Feb 20 '19 at 21:31

The confusion here is that Bitbucket server (the on-prem Bitbucket) does not have CI/CD capability, where as Bitbucket cloud does (Bitbucket pipelines).
If you're building an on-prem only CI/CD platform, you need Bamboo (or Jenkins or ...). If you're building a cloud CI/CD platform, you can do so with just Bitbucket cloud (or with Travis, CircleCI, ...)
