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

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I can install Jenkins for integration from multiple developers and automate application delivery, staging, and production environments."
"The most valuable features of Jenkins are the integration with GitHub, and the automation for deployment."
"It improves our process because it's incorporated with the code."
"Jenkins is the most popular automation engine in the world."
"We are using the open-source version and there is a lot of plugins and features that are available and it works on agents for free. In other solutions, it will cost extra to use them with the agent."
"We have started to integrate Pipelines as a part of a build, and built a library of common functions. It simplified and made our build scripts more readable."
"We really appreciate that this solution is plug and play, and when coding in the version control system, this product completes the build process automatically."
"We've achieved continuous integration and delivery on all our commits, securing the quality of all of our products on their main branches."
"The platform has some amazing features and the integration option makes it very simple to plug with any of our favorite tools."
"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."
 

Cons

"It does not have a very user-friendly interface."
"UI is quite outdated."
"Performance-wise. This needs to be improved. Not only performance-wise, some functionality or some features can be added to Jenkins."
"Polish for the user interface, stability of plugins beyond the very most commonly used ones."
"The upgrades need improvement."
"It would help if they offered more integrations."
"Sometimes, random errors of metadata are not there, which causes delays. These are essentially gaps in the information being passed to the job."
"There are some issues with Jenkins, especially with the SIP job."
"They could work on reducing the number of permissions required while using Bitbucket."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I used the free OSS version all the time. It was enough for all my needs."
"Jenkins is a free solution, it is open source."
"The open-source version is free, but small companies would not be able to afford the cloud-based version."
"We are using the freeware version of Jenkins."
"It is a free product."
"The pricing for Jenkins is free."
"The solution is one of the lowest costs compared to competitors."
"Jenkins is an open-source tool."
