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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a great integration tool and very powerful."
"Jenkins has been instrumental in automating our build and deployment processes."
"Jenkins is a scalable, open-source tool with multiple plugins that is easy to use and set up, and we can integrate it with multiple technologies, whether a .NET application or anything else."
"The most beneficial thing is being able to do everything with just one click, which was not possible previously when any changes needed to be carried out manually."
"Jenkins can be used for elastic management, if you have any sensitive data or credentials you can use them across the environment. Additionally, the solution is easy to use and can be used across multiple use cases."
"Continuous Integration. Jenkins can integrate with almost any systems used for application development and testing, with its plugins."
"Having builds and test tasks triggered on commit helps not to break the product."
"Do it! There's really no way you can lose."
"Easy to configure, works well, has 'free' options (like Social)."
 

Cons

"Provisioning of VMs during deployment."
"There are some 13 commands that we cannot run for Jenkins."
"There are a lot of things that they can try to improvise. They can reduce a lot of configurations. It is currently supporting Groovy for scripting. It would be really good if it can be improvised for Python because, for most of the automation, we have Python as a script. It would be good if can also support Python. We have a lot of Android builds. These Android builds can be a part of Jenkins. It can have some plug-ins or configurations for Android builds. There should also be some internal matrix to check the performance. We also want to have more REST API support, which is currently not much in Jenkins. We are not able to get more information about running Jenkins. More REST API support should be provided."
"I would like to see even more integrations included in the next release."
"The enterprise version is less stable than the open-source version."
"It could be cheaper because there are many solutions available in the market."
"This solution could be improved by removing the storage of unnecessary data such as the history of test deployments that were unsuccessful."
"The user interface could definitely be improved, and I rate it close to zero."
"I had a little problem in redeploying applications using a specific framework (reactor + spring) in a Maven multi-module project."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I used the free OSS version all the time. It was enough for all my needs."
"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 and free."
"It is an open source."
"It is a free product."
"Some of the add-ons are too expensive."
"Jenkins is open-source, so it is free."
"It's free software with a big community behind it, which is very good."
