Netlify Build vs Bamboo comparison of Continuous Integration servers

	Netlify Build https://www.netlify.com/products/build/	Bamboo https://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo
Unique feature	Deploy your sites to global Netlify infrastructure Every commit gets its own deployed version. Automatically attach a new Deploy Preview at a unique permanent URL whenever you submit a Pull/Merge Request. Set Netlify Build to deploy every branch in the repository for unlimited staging environments.	Atlassian suite integration
Type of product	SaaS	On Premise
Offers a free plan	Yes 300 build minutes/month, 1 concurrent CI build	Yes The full Atlassian suite is free for open source projects (https://www.atlassian.com/software/views/open-source-license-request). For all others, they offer a minimal free trial.
Predictable pricing	Yes Extra 500 build minutes costs $7/month. User seat $15/user/month.	Yes They price their product based on number of build agents (more concurrency, more expensive). Given the notoriety and depth of the Atlassian suite, the pricing can be steep for small companies.
Support / SLA	Yes 99.99% uptime SLA for Starter and Pro plan. Business plan has negotiable SLA.	Yes Dedicated tehnical support.
Paralellism Every CI servers tends to address this differently (parallel, distributed, build matrix). Some of it is just marketing, and some is just nuance. For this table, parallel means that tasks can be run concurrently on the same machine, distributed means that tasks can be scaled horizontally, on multiple machines How to split tests in parallel in the optimal way with Knapsack Pro	Yes Starter plan (free) has only 1 concurrent build but Pro plan has 3 concurrent builds included.	Yes Up to 100 parallel agents
Distributed builds distributed means that tasks can be scaled horizontally, on multiple machines How to split tests in parallel in the optimal way with Knapsack Pro	Yes High-Performance Builds - The premium build environment gives more concurrency, processing power and asynchronous deploys.	Yes Agents can run on multiple machines.
Containers support / Build environment	Yes When you trigger a build on Netlify, their buildbot starts a Docker container to build your website. The buildbot will look for instructions about required languages and software needed to run your command before running build command. The instructions are called dependencies, and how you declare them depends on the programming languages and tools used in build. Build image selection is available. Until recently, all Netlify sites were built using the same build image. Netlify is experimenting with allowing customers to select from multiple Docker images with different operating systems and software versions.	Yes By default, they offer Docker support for the CI/CD job runners.
Analytics / Status overview Analytics and overview referrs to the ability to, at a glance, see what's breaking (be it a certain task, or the build for a specific project)	Yes Simple dashboard to see CI builds. Other than CI analytics Netlify has Netlify Analytics that brings data captured directly from their servers for your website.	Yes Excellent dashboards, even more so thanks to integrations with the other tools in the Atlassian arsenal
Management support How easy is it to manage users / projects / assign roles and permissions and so on	Yes Team members managment. Role-based access control only in business plan.	Yes Great management support, built for large scale companies, even allows setting per-environment permissions (ie: QA team can only deploy to their own, isolated environment)
Self-hosted option	No	Yes
Hosted plans / SaaS	Yes	No
Build pipelines A continuous delivery pipeline is a description of the process that the software goes through from a new code commit, through testing and other statical analysis steps all the way to the end-users of the product.	Yes, partially Simple steps, define your own steps in bash commands	Yes Advanced pipeline support - with features built for feature branch support, various triggers, schedules, external notifications and more.
Reports Reports are about the abilty to see specific reports (like code coverage or custom ones), but not necesarily tied in into a larger dashboard.	No	Yes
Ecosystem Besides the official documentation and software, is there a large community using this product? Are there any community-driven tools / plugins that you can use?	No There are only small helpful things like incoming webhooks so other services can trigger Netlify deploys, and send outgoing webhooks as a deploy starts, succeeds, or fails.	Yes Large selection (~200) of apps that integrate with Bamboo, available on the official marketplace for Bamboo: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/addons/app/bamboo
Specific language support: Ruby Some CI servers have built-in support for parsing RSpec or Istanbul output for example and we mention those. Some others make it even easier by detecting Gemfiles or package.json and automate parts of the process for the developer.	Yes It has support for Ruby.	Yes (partial) It looks like the documentation and features for Ruby are lagging behind. All I could find is this repo: https://github.com/drscream/bamboozled-ruby-plugin, following this support ticket: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-10948 from this documentation stub page: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo0601/getting-started-with-ruby-and-bamboo-935580774.html
Specific language support: JavaScript	Yes It has support for JavaScript.	No No specific support, beyond some documentation on integrating Selenium (not marked as partial support since that documentation is only promoted in the Atlassian docs, but is hosted by BrowserStack)
Integrations 1st party support for common tools (like Slack notifications, various VCS platforms, etc)	Yes Netlify has incoming webhooks so other services can trigger Netlify deploys, and send outgoing webhooks as a deploy starts, succeeds, or fails. For instance you can integrate it with Slack.	Yes Deep integration with the Atlassian product stack (Jira, etc.).
API Custom integreation is available, via an API or otherwise, it's mentioned separately as it allows further customization than any of the Ecosystem/Integration options	No	Yes
Auditing	N/A	Yes
Additional notes		Not really something that should be purchased separatelly from the Atlassian stack.
