Jenkins

Open-source automation server for CI and CD

About Jenkins

Jenkins is the leading open-source automation server for building, testing and deploying software. Teams define pipelines that run whenever code changes, covering everything from simple compile-and-test jobs to complex multi-stage delivery workflows across agents and environments. Its defining strength is extensibility: hundreds of community plugins connect Jenkins to source control, cloud platforms, container tools, notification services and almost every part of a typical toolchain. Jenkins is completely free and open source, originally created for continuous integration and now used for general automation far beyond software delivery. Any costs come only from the servers you choose to run it on.
