Jenkins is an open-source automation server widely used in continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) processes. It automates the building, testing, and deployment of software, facilitating a smoother and faster development lifecycle. Jenkins supports various plugins, allowing it to integrate with virtually any tool in the CI/CD toolchain, from version control systems like Git to build tools like Maven, and deployment platforms. Its flexibility and plugin-based architecture make Jenkins adaptable to any project, promoting automation, efficiency, and continuous feedback. With its strong community support and extensive plugin ecosystem, Jenkins remains a pivotal tool in modern software development, enabling teams to accelerate development cycles and improve software quality.
Continuous Integration is a mode of work where multiple programmers can integrate changes continuously into the same code.
The foundation of successful collaboration lies in the agreement on facts, while the key to achieving development velocity is through conducting experiments in the form of tests to validate the code's functionality.
Continuous Integration facilitates both of these processes by creating two distinct processes:
- The first process allows developers to agree on the "true" codebase, commonly called the master branch or trunk.
- The second process validates the codebase after changes are made using tests.
For startups, it is crucial to have processes in place that enable collaboration, and enhance the delivery of changes in a consistent, predictable, and safe manner. This is typically achieved by running automated tests after the introduction of a change into a Git branch or after creating a Pull-Request. If the tests fail or if the branch is not up-to-date with the latest changes from the main branch, the change to the code cannot be introduced to the main version of the code. Such measures ensure that non-working changes are not introduced into the main branch, instilling confidence in introducing changes to the system.
While Jenkins is an old tool with a bunch of flaws, it has significant advantages that make it one of the most useful CI/CD tools:
Setting up Jenkins properly might take some time, but it's worth it because of it's flexibility and wide range of features.
