Jenkins

Jenkins is a task automation server, commonly used to automate CI/CD pipelines.

It's very versatile - perhaps a little clunky - but is great to take those time-consuming repetitive tasks off your hands. Do you want to pull to production, migrate and build every time someone merges to the production branch? Jenks is your man.

It's got a healthy, open source ecosystem and huge userbase, which is great when you need to StackOverflow an issue.

I've been using Jenkins since Jul 2022 (3 years).
