Atlassian reaches out to developers
Bamboo 3.0 is its continuous integration server software, introducing features to improve build speed and effectively implement continuous deployment into the build process for agile teams.
In addition, Atlassian is announcing that it has acquired two plugins from Sysbliss: Bamboo Release Management and JIRA Workflow Designer, which are free for customers. In July 2010, the company received a $60 million round of funding from Accel Partners to accelerate growth, including new M&A. The acquisition of these plugins follows the acquisition of Bitbucket.org in September 2010.
According to NetworkWorld Bamboo 3.0 enables developers to automate the build process and spur software testing. Agile development teams can reduce hours from their software development times, identify problems, and gain insight into development practices, Atlassian says.
Continuous deployment in version 3.0 adds to previous capabilities for building and testing code, says Giancarlo Lionetti, product marketing manager for development tools at Atlassian. The product leverages the notion of continuous development going on in an agile shop, he says. "The idea here is this kind of plays into that whole continuous deployment, continuous development process.
Bamboo has been used with Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud to scale large builds in a cloud environment, PC World states.
