Daily Term: Jenkins
Jenkins
Jenkins is an open-source automation server widely used for building, testing, and deploying software in CI/CD pipelines. It supports plugins for various tools and allows pipeline definitions via scripts (e.g., Jenkinsfile). For example, a team might use Jenkins to run tests and deploy a web app to Kubernetes on every commit. Jenkins is highly extensible, but it can be complex to manage at scale and requires maintenance for updates and plugins.
