Alan Shimel, Techstrong Group Founder & CEO DevOps Dozen 2017: Best DevOps Open Source Project Jenkins is one of the leading open source automation servers available. Jenkins has an extensible, plugin-based architecture, enabling developers to create 1,400+ plugins to adapt it to a multitude of build, test and deployment technology integrations.
