Overview

Jenkins X is an open-source project that rethinks CI/CD for the cloud-native world. It automates the setup of CI/CD pipelines for Kubernetes applications, creating preview environments for pull requests and promoting changes through environments (Dev, Staging, Prod) automatically using GitOps. It leverages tools like Tekton for pipelines and can use Argo CD or Flux for GitOps promotion.

✨ Key Features

  • Automated CI/CD pipelines for Kubernetes
  • Automatic creation of Preview Environments for pull requests
  • GitOps for promotion between environments
  • Opinionated workflow to accelerate development
  • Built on modern cloud-native tools like Tekton

🎯 Key Differentiators

  • Highly opinionated and automated setup
  • Built-in support for preview environments
  • Leverages modern cloud-native tools like Tekton

Unique Value: Automates and simplifies the setup of a modern, cloud-native CI/CD workflow on Kubernetes, including best practices like GitOps and preview environments, out of the box.

💡 Check With Vendor

Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:

  • Teams that require a highly customized, non-opinionated CI/CD solution.

🏆 Alternatives

Codefresh Argo CD + CI GitLab

More opinionated and automated than building a solution with Argo CD and a separate CI tool. Less mature and feature-rich than enterprise platforms like Codefresh or GitLab.
