Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about switching from Jenkins to Atmosly.

What makes Atmosly different from Jenkins?

Atmosly offers a modern, cloud-native CI/CD platform with visual pipeline builder (no Groovy scripting), AI-powered debugging, built-in Kubernetes support, automatic scaling, and zero maintenance overhead. Unlike Jenkins, there's no need to manage plugins, updates, or server infrastructure. Setup takes 2 minutes vs hours, and pipelines are 3-5x faster.

Can I migrate my Jenkins pipelines to Atmosly?

Yes, but you don't need to "convert" Jenkinsfiles line-by-line. Atmosly's drag-and-drop visual builder makes it faster to recreate pipelines from scratch than to convert complex Groovy code. Simply identify your pipeline stages (build, test, deploy), then drag pre-built blocks into place. Add your custom scripts as needed—no Groovy rewriting required. Most teams recreate their Jenkins pipelines in 15-30 minutes per pipeline using our visual builder. We offer free migration assistance to help you get started.

Is Atmosly easier to use than Jenkins?

Absolutely. Atmosly's visual pipeline builder eliminates the need for Groovy scripting and complex Jenkins configurations. New team members can create pipelines in minutes without learning Jenkins DSL or managing plugins. Setup takes 2 minutes compared to hours with Jenkins. Our customers report 70% reduction in time spent on CI/CD maintenance and 80% faster team onboarding.

Does Atmosly support the same integrations as Jenkins?

Yes, Atmosly supports all major version control systems (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket), cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure), container registries (Docker Hub, ECR, GCR, ACR), notification systems (Slack, Microsoft Teams, email), testing frameworks, and security tools. Unlike Jenkins plugins that require constant updates, Atmosly's integrations are built-in, always up-to-date, and require zero maintenance.

What are the cost differences between Jenkins and Atmosly?

While Jenkins is free, it requires significant infrastructure costs (servers, storage, bandwidth), dedicated DevOps resources for maintenance (20-30 hours/month on average), plugin management, security updates, and scaling. Atmosly offers transparent, predictable pricing with no infrastructure overhead, automatic scaling, and 50-70% reduction in DevOps team time spent on CI/CD maintenance. Most teams save money by eliminating Jenkins infrastructure and reducing DevOps overhead, while gaining better performance and features.

How long does it take to migrate from Jenkins to Atmosly?

Most Jenkins to Atmosly migrations complete in 1-3 weeks, depending on the number of pipelines and complexity. Simple projects can migrate in days. Our migration team provides a dedicated engineer who converts Jenkinsfiles, migrates credentials, sets up integrations, and ensures zero downtime. We support gradual migration, allowing you to move projects one at a time while keeping Jenkins running as a backup.

Does Atmosly support self-hosted/on-premises deployment?

Yes, Atmosly offers both SaaS (fully managed) and self-hosted deployment options. For organizations with strict on-premises requirements, you can deploy Atmosly on your own infrastructure while still getting the modern CI/CD experience, visual pipeline builder, and zero maintenance benefits. Unlike Jenkins, even our self-hosted version includes automatic updates, built-in integrations, and enterprise support.

What happens to my Jenkins plugins when I migrate?

Most Jenkins plugin functionality is built into Atmosly natively. Git integration, Docker support, Kubernetes deployments, security scanning, notifications, and artifact management are all first-class features that don't require plugins. For specialized functionality, Atmosly's extensible architecture allows custom integrations via webhooks, APIs, and container-based actions. Our migration team will map your Jenkins plugins to equivalent Atmosly features during assessment.

Can I run Jenkins and Atmosly in parallel during migration?

Absolutely. We recommend running Jenkins and Atmosly in parallel during migration for risk-free transition. Migrate projects gradually—start with non-critical projects, validate results, then move production pipelines. Keep Jenkins running as backup for 2-4 weeks after full migration. This approach ensures zero downtime and gives your team confidence in the new platform before decommissioning Jenkins.
