In a nutshell, Jenkins is the leading open-source automation server.
|
|
Built with Java, it provides over 1,700 [plugins](https://plugins.jenkins.io/) to support automating virtually anything,
|
|
so that humans can spend their time doing things machines cannot.
|
|
|
|
# What to Use Jenkins for and When to Use It

|
|
- Static code analysis
|
|
- Deployment
|
