SAN JOSE, CA. – February 14, 2017 – The Jenkins project, comprised of a community of practitioners using open source Jenkins, today announced that it has been awarded Best DevOps Open Source Project as part of the 2016 DevOps Dozen by DevOps.com.
Jenkins is at the center of the DevOps and continuous delivery (CD) world. It is the most popular open source automation server in use today, with more than 133,000 active installations and an estimated 1,000,000+ users1 . Jenkins continuously introduces new improvements, most recently with new functionalities to Jenkins Pipeline to improve usability, increase DevOps team productivity and accelerate the adoption of CD. Additionally, 90 percent of Jenkins users consider it to be mission-critical to the development and delivery process, and 85 percent of Jenkins users say their company has increased usage of Jenkins in 2016. Jenkins 2, a significant release issued by the community in 2016, has been rapidly adopted, with nearly 50 percent of active Jenkins installations using it2 at year end. Jenkins offers the most extensive plugin ecosystem available for automating and orchestrating continuous delivery pipelines.
“This recognition by DevOps.com is a true testament to the power of the Jenkins Community and the strength of Jenkins users,” said Kohuske Kawaguchi, CTO of CloudBees and founder of the Jenkins project. “As DevOps becomes more and more integrated into the overall fabric of the enterprise, it is important users know their options and make educated decisions on open source tools. Being named the Best Open Source Project by such a credible and influential outlet is a testimonial to the power of Jenkins.”
“Jenkins has really become the nexus of continuous delivery,” said Alan Shimel, editor-in-chief of DevOps.com. “Everyone has a plugin for Jenkins, and while there are lots of great open source developer tools on the market, Jenkins is one of the most used and most trusted. The sheer number of users speak for the reliability and innovation Jenkins provides.”
