Jenkins

Definition

Jenkins is an open-source automation server that orchestrates CI/CD pipelines through a rich plugin ecosystem (1,800+ plugins). It supports both declarative and scripted (Groovy) pipeline-as-code via Jenkinsfiles.

While Jenkins remains widely deployed in enterprises, its operational complexity and plugin maintenance burden have driven adoption toward cloud-native alternatives like GitHub Actions and GitLab CI.
