+1 for this being a really useful feature. I have a BB pipeline that has one task that runs for 15 mins and a few others that are a few minutes apiece and have dependencies to run in a certain order. To complicate things, they also run on different container images. It would be nice to turn the few steps into a stage and be able to run it in parallel with the other stage.

Parallel steps seems like a basic capability already implemented in a normal pipeline. Why can't it be part of stages too?

+1

Amazing how many basic features which are staples of CI/CD development are just not allowed, or a limitation, or totally impossible in Bitbucket pipelines. Do Atlassian realise that their main competititors in this space i.e. GitHub/GitLab are totally blowing Bitbucket pipelines in the middle of last decade. This ticket and dozen or so other tickets to allow for basic stuff, like variablising deployment variables, allowing conditional steps, deployments with parallel steps, more than one step with a deployment in a stage and other very simple capabilities to implement is really hindering the ability for engineers to use Bitbucket pipelines properly. These tickets have been open for literally years, with no updates, no comments from anyone at Atlassian and it's very poor.

looking forward for this feature

Is there any timeline for this?

Also, very interested in using this feature, it could improve the pipeline workflow on many projects.

Hi there, will be great to have both parallel stages and parallel steps in stage. Both would save work time and simplify the currently edited config file to achieve the same result.

Also very interested in seeing this feature supported as well. Deployment times for one of my team's apps could see substantial improvements with this!

Jenkins got this feature recently in 2017 so it would be nice if it was supported here too. https://www.jenkins.io/blog/2017/09/25/declarative-1/
