> Jenkins is fine for that
As someone who managed hundreds of Jenkins instances from 2016 to 2018, Jenkins is now complete crap, stop using it. It was an ok product when the open source world offered no alternative but it's completely outdated compared to today's solutions. Deploying it sucks, its config as code format(s) are awful, the plugins are shit, upgrades can (and do) break everything, and I won't even saying anything about the design (not just the UI but also the UX and concepts).
Jenkins is not fine for anything in 2023.
- Roark66 3y agoWhat alternative would you suggest? None of the large companies I worked at used anything other than Jenkins for cicd (well in one place we did use azure devops server - back then called teams If I remember correctly, but that was just for one app development team). Where they didn't use Jenkins they didn't have a dedicated cicd runner and they used github/gitlab instead. Both of these (although github less) suck for cicd IMO.
- thiht 3y agoConcourse, Drone, Gitlab CI all work fine. I've also heard of GoCD that looks interesting and looks like an actual "Jenkins successor" (more than an alternative IMO), but I've never used it.
