Is there a way to configure bitbucket pipelines to run parallel sets of consecutive steps?

Question

I would like to know if there is a way to configure bitbucket pipelines to run parallel sets of consecutive steps?

something like:

parallel:
   consecutive:
      -step
         ...
      -step
         ...
   consecutive:
      -step
         ...
      -step
         ...

The reason I need this structure is that steps in each of the parallel 'branches' are using different images

for those who interested I've fired a feature request here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-19908

Hello @alex_begame_nl,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to run steps sequentially within different parallel streams in pipelines at the moment. The only way to keep parallelism would be to prepare a Docker image that every nested step could run with, and then squash sequential steps from your example into one.

The use case you suggest make sense to me though, please feel free to file a feature request in our public issue tracker so that we know about your interest, and other users can vote for it too.

Cheers,
Daniil
