Efficient resource allocation and robust workflow with autoscaling capabilities
In Kubernetes, we use node-based architecture with nodes and pods and follow practices like RBAC and rollback. Multiple pods can run concurrently. We benefit from Kubernetes' ability to autoscale pods and use horizontal pod autoscalers to adjust the number of pods based on metrics like CPU or memory usage, ensuring efficient resource allocation and stability under load.

Testing against multiple run times, versions, and environments is a plus point
We are using Shippable to automate our CI/CD, so we (and our developers) can focus on our core business.  Shippable has tremendously increased our product and features delivery by at least three times. The platform has some amazing features and the integration option makes it very simple to plug…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The simplicity of Jenkins and the evolving ecosystem of Jenkins are most valuable."
"Jenkins is a very good tool, which I highly recommend, and it's very helpful for the continuous integration of any products."
"We use Jenkins to automatically build Python binaries into several OS's i.e. OS X, Ubuntu, Windows 32-bit and Windows 64-bit."
"We used it for all continuous integration parts, like automation testing, deployment, etc."
"The most valuable aspect of Jenkins is pipeline customization. Jenkins provides a declarative pipeline as well as a scripted pipeline. The scripted pipeline uses a programming language. You can customize it to your needs, so we use Jenkins because other solutions like Travis and Spinnaker don't allow much customization."
"Having builds and test tasks triggered on commit helps not to break the product."
"We chose this solution because it is in line with the budget and customer preferences."
"A lot of support material exists via a single web search of exactly what you're looking for."
"Testing against multiple run times, versions, and environments is a plus point with the additional pipelines making it more interesting to see what is happening across your development process in a single pane of glass."
"Shippable has tremendously increased our product and features delivery by at least three times."
"The platform has some amazing features and the integration option makes it very simple to plug with any of our favorite tools."
 

Cons

"The bug fix speed is very slow."
"We cannot change the ownership of any directory or file or any kind of directory."
"From time to time Jenkins experiences problems after 1-2 weeks of intensive work (where at least 1-2 jobs are running at any point of time)."
"The user interface could definitely be improved, and I rate it close to zero."
"Tasks such as deployment, cloning, database switchover, and all other database missions and tasks are being done through Jenkins. If a job does not go through, at times the error message does not clearly indicate what caused the failure. I have to escalate it to the Jenkins DevOps team just to see what caused the failure. If the error message is clear, then I wouldn't have to escalate the issue to different teams."
"The disadvantage of Jenkins is writing Groovy scripts. There are other CI tools where you do not need to write this many scripts to manage and deploy."
"Developer documentation for plugins, plugin development, integrations: Sometimes it’s tricky to do pretty obvious things."
"Jenkins could have better cloud functionality. Currently, we are using the existing legacy model, but we are moving toward the cloud, so it would be great if they could improve in that area. In the future, I would like more cloud features and related training materials, like a video tutorial."
"They could work on reducing the number of permissions required while using Bitbucket."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a free product."
"It's free software with a big community behind it, which is very good."
"We are using the freeware version of Jenkins."
"This is an open-source solution for the basic features. However, if an organization wishes to include specific functionality, outside of the basic package, there are extra costs involved."
"Jenkins is open-source, so it is free."
"The tool is open-source."
"Some of the add-ons are too expensive."
"We use the tool's open-source version which is free. There is an enterprise version which is expensive but comes with better support."
"The pricing is the cheapest compared to the other platforms out there."
