Does Bitbucket pipeline parallel steps run in separate docker containers?

[sayantan.roy]

I am trying to break down my project build's tests into multiple steps as it cannot run all the tests in a single step due to memory limit. However, I was wondering if I could use parallel steps to run these parallel! 

Does each step in a parallel set run in separate docker containers?

Hello @sayantan.roy,

Yes, as mentioned here, each step, no matter if it is parallel or not, runs a separate Docker container. If you want, you can use different types of containers for each step by selecting different images.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
