We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The integration with other AWS services has streamlined our workflow.""The integration is a good feature.""The integration is a good feature.""The solution provides good integrations.""It works seamlessly with AWS Elastic Container Registry (ECR)."

More AWS CodeBuild Pros →

"It can do the CI pipeline well.""The most valuable features of Bamboo are its performance and UI. Additionally, there are a lot of useful plugins, integration with other solutions, such as Bitbucket and Jira, and a helpful online community.""The most valuable features are compiling and deployment.""In Bamboo, build and deployment have been segregated. The build plan and deployment plan are different. When comparing Bamboo to other solutions, the native feature you will not find in another tool, such as Jenkins. They have segregated the build and deployment plan. This means, building the application and deploying it are two separate parts in Bamboo, they have segregated it apart from the UI. This makes the tool a bit better compared to other tools.""The most useful feature of Bamboo is its integration with other solutions such as Jira and BitBucket, also offered by Atlassian. It is easier to use tools all provided by one vendor.""The platform helps us with automated and timely backup. It provides data replication as well.""One of the significant benefits of Bamboo is its built-in support for numerous clients and the ability to tailor its capabilities to your specific requirements. This high level of customization enables you to create pipelines that are ideally suited to your needs, making it an invaluable tool for conducting advanced testing.""In my experience Bamboo is scalable."

Cons
"There is no persistent storage or preservation of workspace between the builds.""The deployment fails sometimes.""They can further improve the integration of the Bitbucket for CodeBuild.""While working on building images for multiple applications within a single script, I encountered an issue where looping functionality was not supported as expected."

More AWS CodeBuild Cons →

"It should be much easier to use. It shouldn't require a lot of reading to be able to use it. It should have just two or three screens rather than hundreds of screens requiring a lot of clicking. It also requires a lot of integration. It has a steep learning curve. It takes a lot of time to understand and put in the data. There is also no proper training.""Scalability depends on the use case. If it is really a big customer with a lot of tests, it might not be a scalable option for them.""The marketing strategy of Bamboo is an area of concern where improvements are needed.""It can be challenging for someone new to the system or ecosystem to grasp, making it difficult to train new people and help them understand.""It's a little outdated. It's three years old.""Bamboo could improve by having compatibility with GitLab. It would be better to have this platform for deploying code and storing container registries. Bamboo does not have a container registry. Additionally, there could be more features added.""It would be great if Bamboo could introduce a more containerized deployment model.""Bamboo can improve by providing more with scripting, such as they have with Jenkins. Bamboo is more UI-driven at this time, Jenkins is going in that direction too."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We pay a monthly licensing fee."
  • "Despite the cost, it is worth the investment."
  • More AWS CodeBuild Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "There is a subscription required to use Bamboo."
  • "If Bamboo could provide more flexibility on pricing, that would help. On the agent side, if you want to increase the number of agents it should be less expensive. If they can provide some better pricing model, it will help, whether we are going to use it or are already using it."
  • "The server products for small teams used to offer excellent pricing. However, Atlassian has since changed the offering and the pricing is more expensive. I do still think the solution offers good value for money."
  • "The price of Bamboo is reasonable."
  • "I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten."

    A biased and subjective comparison of Bamboo and Jenkins as CI servers for mobile development, based on practical experience with both. Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (Delivery, Distribution) has been around for quite a while. But surprisingly enough on a global scale it pretty much just got into its teen years in regards to mobile development. Well, subjectively, of course. You can see all levels of mobile CI these days. Some would still install builds from Xcode, others would have a quickly patched up build server under their desk. Xcode Bots meet the needs of yet another group of people. Travis CI is good and for open source projects it’s probably the best option. And guess what, I know few successful iOS development companies that develop apps for enterprise clients, and have no CI at all. The advanced level of CI would include distributed build systems with multiple build nodes, support for automated unit and UI tests, running tests on simulator and physical devices, automatic deployment to TestFlight, Hockey App, Over the Air, and much more. It becomes not just mobile development, but spans into areas like DevOps and others. Etsy’s blog post is somewhat outdated but still a very good example of where this path can take you. If you decide to take mobile CI under your total control, you have to pick a build server to start with. I personally have worked with Bamboo for 1.5 years and I’m dealing with Jenkins right now, so I have few insights… Read more →

    Overview

    AWS CodeBuild is a fully managed continuous integration service that compiles source code, runs tests, and produces software packages that are ready to deploy. With CodeBuild, you don’t need to provision, manage, and scale your own build servers. CodeBuild scales continuously and processes multiple builds concurrently, so your builds are not left waiting in a queue. You can get started quickly by using prepackaged build environments, or you can create custom build environments that use your own build tools. With CodeBuild, you are charged by the minute for the compute resources you use.

    Bamboo is a continuous integration and delivery tool that ties automated builds, tests and releases together in a single workflow. It works great alongside JIRA and Stash providing a fully traceable deployment pipeline.
