The Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF) announced today that the open source Jenkins continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) has officially graduated. Jenkins was donated last year to the CDF, an arm of The Linux Foundation, along with Jenkins X, a CI/CD platform for Kubernetes; Spinnaker, a CD platform; and Tekton, a framework for building pipelines that will be employed as the foundation for next-generation CI/CD platforms. Tracy Miranda, CDF Governing Board Chair and director of open source community at CloudBees, said that although Jenkins traces its lineage back to 2004, the CDF wanted to make sure the same requirements that are being applied to graduate other projects are applied to Jenkins despite its obvious maturity.

In practice, however, many IT teams continue to use Jenkins and other CI/CD platforms to build both monolithic and microservices-based applications.
