Jenkins

An established open-source server for CI/CD pipelines, extensible in countless ways.

What is Jenkins?

Jenkins is among the longest-established automation servers for continuous integration and deployment and has been proven over many years. Through an enormous ecosystem of plugins it can be adapted to almost any workflow and fitted into existing toolchains. Unlike hosted services it runs on your own infrastructure, which means full control but also your own operation and upkeep. Pipelines can be stored as code in the repository, so everything stays versioned here too.

How we use it

We use Jenkins when a project already builds on it or you need a self-hosted pipeline that runs independently of any single vendor. Behind a corporate firewall or under strict data-protection requirements it is often the clean solution. We then maintain the pipeline as code, so it stays auditable instead of disappearing into the web UI.

Good to know

Define pipelines through a Jenkinsfile in the repository, not through jobs clicked together in the UI. Otherwise your most important automation lives outside version control and is hard to rescue at the next server migration.
