Jenkins

Jenkins is a free and open source automation server. It helps automate the parts of software development related to building, testing, and deploying, facilitating continuous integration and continuous delivery.

Usage

Jenkins is used as a build server. Before an application can be deployed it first needs to be build and packaged.
Jenkins allows people who have access to build applications before deployment in a simple UI.
After logging in you are greeted with all available projects.
From here select the project you want to build, here you find an overview of all builds available, and the option to create a new build.

Access

If you are a Medior/Senior Full Time Backend Developer then you can request access at someone from the DevOps team.
