What is Jenkins?

Jenkins is an open-source automation server that has been the de facto standard for CI/CD since 2011. With over 1,800 plugins available, it offers extreme flexibility for building, testing, and deploying software across virtually any environment.

However, this flexibility comes at a cost: managing Jenkins requires significant DevOps expertise, constant plugin updates, Groovy scripting knowledge, and ongoing server maintenance—often consuming 60-70% of platform engineering time.

Common Jenkins Challenges:

  • Plugin compatibility issues
  • Groovy/DSL learning curve
  • Server maintenance overhead
  • Security patch management
  • Scaling complexity
  • No built-in K8s support

What is Atmosly?

Atmosly is a modern, fully-managed CI/CD platform that eliminates Jenkins maintenance overhead. It provides visual pipeline building, AI-powered debugging, and Kubernetes-native deployments—all without writing Groovy or managing servers.

FAQ

Common Questions

What makes Atmosly different from Jenkins?

Atmosly is 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.

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. Most teams recreate their Jenkins pipelines in 15-30 minutes per pipeline. We offer free migration assistance to help you get started.

Is Atmosly easier to use than Jenkins?

Absolutely. Atmosly's visual pipeline builder eliminates Groovy scripting and complex configurations. New team members can create pipelines in minutes without learning Jenkins DSL or managing plugins. Our customers report 70% reduction in time spent on CI/CD maintenance.

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, notification systems, and testing frameworks. Unlike Jenkins plugins requiring constant updates, Atmosly's integrations are built-in and always up-to-date.

Can I run Jenkins and Atmosly in parallel?

Absolutely. We recommend running both in parallel during migration. Start with non-critical projects, validate results, then move production pipelines gradually. Keep Jenkins as backup until you're confident. This ensures zero downtime and a risk-free transition.

What happens to my Jenkins plugins?

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. For specialized functionality, Atmosly supports webhooks, APIs, and container-based actions.

Does Atmosly support self-hosted deployment?

Yes. Atmosly offers both SaaS (fully managed) and self-hosted deployment options. For organizations with strict on-premises requirements, you can deploy on your own infrastructure while still getting the visual pipeline builder and zero maintenance benefits. Even self-hosted includes automatic updates and enterprise support.

What kind of support does Atmosly provide?

Atmosly offers dedicated support including onboarding assistance, migration help, team training, and ongoing technical support. Jenkins relies on community support through mailing lists and GitHub. For teams requiring SLAs, compliance certifications, or dedicated support engineers, Atmosly provides enterprise support options.
