Jenkins is an open source tool for automating tasks that aids continuous integration and delivery by automating the elements of software development related to building, testing, and deploying. It’s one of the most popular choices when dealing with CD pipelines.
You can use it to deploy an application, but that’s an approach not used by many as it doesn’t have the advanced features available in some of the previous methods. The monitoring part of the dashboard doesn’t provide granular control, and open source tools, like Prometheus with Grafana, are widely used instead because they have been built explicitly for visualization and monitoring.
Kubernetes stands out as one of the most popular container orchestration tools currently available, with 5.6 million developers using the orchestrator by the end of 2021, a 67% increase from the previous year.
If you have an application running on a Kubernetes cluster and need it to update as soon as your new changes are pushed on your code, you need a CI/CD pipeline. CI stands for continuous integration and focuses on integrating your latest commits to a repository, like Docker Hub, after tests and checks. CD stands for continuous delivery/deployment, where you automatically update your application on Kubernetes after it’s integrated with the previous stage.
Helm is another popular client-side tool that helps you easily create and deploy complex Kubernetes applications. It provides reproducibility of deployment with the help of charts that describe the resources your Kubernetes API should deploy.
A good alternative would be to use GitOps tools, like Argo CD and Flux, to deploy your application after building and testing the application locally via DevSpace and pushing the changes to your remote repository.
Developer tools, like DevSpace, are designed to help develop your software faster and without the complexity of other access methods. These tools make adoption rapid with a lot of features. In short, it makes a developer’s life simple without much bother regarding infrastructure.
