What Is Jenkins and How Does it Work

Jenkins is an open source continuous integration (CI) server. It manages and controls several stages of the software delivery process, including build, documentation, automated testing, packaging, and static code analysis. Jenkins is a highly popular DevOps tool used by thousands of development teams.

Jenkins Architecture

  • Developers modify the source code, committing changes to the repository, and Jenkins creates a new build in order to handle the new Git commit.
  • Jenkins can work in “push” or “pull” mode. The Jenkins CI server is either triggered by an event such as a code commit, or it can regularly check the repository for changes.
  • The build server builds the code and generates an artifact. If the build fails, the developer receives an alert.
  • Jenkins deploys the built application/executable to the test server, which can execute continuous, automated tests. Developers receive alerts if their changes impact functionality.
  • Jenkins optionally deploys the changes to the production server if the code has no issues.

Why your need Jenkins

  • Highly extensible with a huge variety of existing plugins. Plugins contribute to Jenkins’ flexibility and rich scripting and declarative language which supports advanced, custom pipelines.
  • Robust and reliable at almost any scale.
  • Mature and battle-tested.
  • Supports hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
  • Offers an extensive knowledge base, documentation, and community resources.
  • Based on Java, an enterprise development language with a broad ecosystem, making it suitable for legacy enterprise environments.
