A bit about Jenkins

Things you need to know about Jenkins before using any Jenkins Consulting company

What is Jenkins?

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.

What is Continuous Integration?

Continuous Integration is a mode of work where multiple programmers can integrate changes continuously into the same code.

Why use Continuous Integration?

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.

Why use Jenkins?

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:

  • It's possible to write an entire functions library (in Groovy) you can re-use across all of your Jenkins pipeline
  • Parallelization capabilities that enable running in parallel different parts of the same Jenkins pipeline
  • Orchestration flexibility that enables running different parts of the same Jenkins pipeline on different nodes
  • The ability to trigger another Jenkins pipeline from within a Jenkins pipeline enables integrating the development processes of different components
  • Plugins, plugins everywhere! It's very easy to extend the capabilities of Jenkins using plugins (but be careful, there's a way to do it, Jenkins plugins don't have good dependency management)
  • Ability to orchestrate pipelines on platforms like Kubernetes

Setting up Jenkins properly might take some time, but it's worth it because of it's flexibility and wide range of features.

Why get our help with Jenkins?

Our professional experience with Jenkins in diverse past projects encompasses the following key achievements:

  • Minimized Jenkins downtime by fully automating plugins upgrades and Jenkins configuration changes
  • Successfully deployed Production Jenkins servers on Kubernetes
  • Orchestrated Linux & Windows Jenkins Slaves on Kubernetes
  • Implemented robust routines for Jenkins backups and established quick restore processes
  • Proactively monitored Jenkins using comprehensive logs, metrics, and alerts to detect and address potential issues promptly
  • Developed Jenkins Libraries for seamless code sharing across multiple pipelines
  • Streamlined version control by integrating Jenkins with Github and GitLab
  • Set up plugin upgrade testing environments to guarantee Jenkins stability before upgrades
  • Built Jenkins pipelines from the ground up and optimized existing pipelines for enhanced efficiency
  • Efficiently managed development for multiple services by integrating multiple Jenkins pipelines and jobs
  • Established a well-defined process for creating Jenkins Jobs and Pipelines in the Git environment
  • Strategically utilized Jenkins' parallel feature to significantly reduce the execution duration of continuous integration processes
  • Deployed infrastructure workloads on Kubernetes, AWS, and GCP, leveraging Jenkins, Helm, and Terraform

These accomplishments exemplify our team's professional approach to leveraging Jenkins as a powerful automation tool, ensuring seamless integration and delivery of projects with unwavering commitment to excellence.
