Scalable automation server for continuous integration and delivery
Jenkins automates building, testing, and deploying software with over 2,000 plugins, supporting any language or platform, and offers flexible distribution via WAR, Docker, and native packages.
Jenkins is a Java‑based automation server that enables teams to define, execute, and monitor continuous integration and delivery pipelines. With a catalog of more than 2,000 plugins, it can orchestrate virtually any build, test, static analysis, or deployment task across diverse languages, tools, and environments.
Jenkins can be run as a standalone WAR file, deployed in containers using the official Docker image, or installed via native packages for major Linux distributions and Windows. Two release tracks—Weekly for the latest features and Long‑Term Support for stability—let organizations choose the cadence that matches their risk tolerance. The platform’s open governance and active community ensure regular updates, extensive documentation, and a wealth of shared best‑practice pipelines.
Designed for both on‑premises data centers and cloud infrastructures, Jenkins scales from a single developer workstation to large enterprise fleets, providing the flexibility to automate any part of the software delivery lifecycle.
When teams consider Jenkins, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Automated Build and Test Pipeline
Code changes trigger builds, run unit/integration tests, and report results instantly, reducing manual QA effort.
Continuous Deployment to Kubernetes
Successful builds automatically package Docker images and deploy them to a Kubernetes cluster via scripted pipelines.
Static Code Analysis Integration
Integrates tools like SonarQube to scan code quality on each commit, enforcing standards before merge.
Multi‑branch Pipeline Management
Detects and runs separate pipelines for each Git branch, enabling parallel development streams without configuration overhead.
Download the WAR file, run `java -jar jenkins.war`, or use the official Docker image or native package for your OS.
Weekly releases contain the latest features and fixes; LTS releases prioritize stability with backported bug fixes and are updated less frequently.
Yes, through its plugin architecture and pipeline scripts written in Groovy, you can add virtually any functionality.
Jenkins runs in containers and supports cloud plugins, making it compatible with AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes deployments.
Jenkins has millions of users, thousands of contributors, regular releases, and a governance model that encourages open participation.
