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 deployment of traditional Jenkins is easy."

"The most valuable features of Jenkins are its ease of use and good plugins available. You are able to connect to a lot of solutions."

"Configuration management: It is so easy to configure a Jenkins instance. Migrate configuration to a new environment just by copying XML files and setting up new nodes."

"The most valuable features of Jenkins are creating builds, and connecting them with Sonar for Sonar analysis. Additionally, we connect it with other vulnerability tools, such as WhiteSource which is useful."

"The initial setup is pretty simple."

"I like the business logs. It's a very useful tool. Client-server communication is also very fast."

"Jenkins' most valuable feature is Pipeline."

"The most valuable feature of Jenkins is its open source."

More Jenkins pros

"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."

"The platform has some amazing features and the integration option makes it very simple to plug with any of our favorite tools."

Cons

"This solution could be improved by removing the storage of unnecessary data such as the history of test deployments that were unsuccessful."

"It would be helpful if they had a bit more interactive UI."

"Creating a new SonarQube project requires a separate job, and we've encountered some integration issues with Docker and the need for better vulnerability checks."

"The scriptwriting process could be improved in this solution in the future."

"Some kind of SaaS product would be helpful in providing organizational structure."

"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."

"Improvement-wise, I would want the solution's user interface to be changed for the better. In short, the solution can be made more user-friendly."

"Jenkins is an old product, and we encounter performance issues and slow response. Also, some of the plugins are not stable."

More Jenkins cons

"They could work on reducing the number of permissions required while using Bitbucket."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Jenkins is open source."

"It is free."

"The solution is open source."

"The tool is open-source."

"It is an open source."

"Jenkins is a free solution, it is open source."

"We are using the freeware version of Jenkins."

"We are using the free version of Jenkins. There are no costs or licensing."

More Jenkins pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is the cheapest compared to the other platforms out there."

I generally find TeamCity a lot more intuitive than Jenkins.

Moving to TeamCity from Jenkins At work, we’re slowly migrating from Jenkins to TeamCity in the hope of ending some of our recurring problems with continuous integration. My use of Jenkins prior to this job has been almost strictly on a personal basis, although I pretty much only use Travis…
