What's Bitbucket Pipelines and what is its use case?

I'm trying to understand this product. It looks amazing, but I don't feel 100% sure what it's use is.

Is it used to automate my deployment process so when I merge into the master branch it's auto deployed to my servers and defined scripts are running on them?

Can I use it without having Docker?

It is just like Travis CI in github. A Continuous Integration tool, given by bitbucket for free. And no, you don't need docker for start using it.

This tool just compile your script and run tests, if any written. It is not deployment tool. If you want, I guess, you can extend it, but I'm not sure. So it is more like automated build tool!

@emilmoe It is indeed part of deployment, if you ask me. You can very well connect it to any CD tool to complete the process, and make your deployment fully automated. But you just need to check if bitbucket pipelines offer that as an add-on or have the provision to connect to third party tools! But nevertheless, these deployment process can be easily done at your server, if you have one!

Hmm.. To clarify here. Pipeline can be used to run automated test, git pull, composer install, npm install and npm update and php artisan migrate (for Laravel)? That's pretty much what I do.

Yeah. Now only thing left for you is to, push it to server! Isn't it? Or will php artisan migrate will do that?
