In a nutshell Jenkins CI is the leading open-source continuous integration server. Built with Java, it provides 1009 plugins to support building and testing virtually any project.
Atlassian Bamboo and Jenkins are both popular continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) platforms, but they have distinct differences. Bamboo is a commercial CI/CD tool developed by Atlassian, known for its integration with other Atlassian products like Jira and Bitbucket. It provides a user-friendly interface and easy configuration for building, testing, and deploying applications. Bamboo offers native support for parallel and distributed builds, along with built-in deployment capabilities. It emphasizes tight integration with the Atlassian ecosystem, making it a seamless choice for teams already using Atlassian tools. On the other hand, Jenkins is an open-source automation server with extensive flexibility and customization options. It offers a vast number of plugins and integrations, allowing developers to tailor their CI/CD workflows to specific needs. Jenkins is highly customizable, scalable, and can be self-hosted, providing more control over infrastructure. Jenkins has a large community and extensive documentation, making it ideal for users seeking an open-source solution with strong community support.
