The Continuous Delivery Foundation's Jenkins® project, comprised of the community of continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) practitioners using Jenkins, today reported growth in Jenkins Pipeline adoption for CI/CD process automation. Jenkins Pipeline usage grew 79% from June 2021 ? June 2023, while total workloads on Jenkins during the same period grew by 45%. CI/CD pipelines are created to automate and speed the delivery of software, bringing value and competitive advantage to organizations.
Growth of 79% in Jenkins Pipeline jobs and of 45% in overall CI/CD workload*
"Jenkins Pipeline helps enterprises to substantially improve the process of building and delivering software while reducing risks, improving feature velocity and driving greater end-to-end quality and efficiency," said Gerard McMahon, head of ALM tools and platforms, Fidelity Investments. "Jenkins features such as shared libraries and the pipeline template catalog allow enterprises to create standard and consistent pipelines with built-in guard rails for security and compliance."
Jenkins market share approximately 44% in 2023
Recent market share statistics from Datanyze show that Jenkins has an estimated 44% of CI/CD market share. Evans Data in its Worldwide Developer Population and Demographic Study 22.2 estimated there are approximately 25 million developers globally. With a 44% market share, this means approximately 11,264,000 developers use Jenkins for CI.
Jenkins is used to deliver many safety-critical and business-critical software applications across all industries. Read what Jenkins users are achieving in their CI/CD efforts, from modernizing healthcare, to building sophisticated electronic devices, automating loan applications, optimizing railroad signals, future-proofing major retailers, prototyping life science applications and so much more.
Strong support from tech industry and community contributors
"When I think about the enduring value of Jenkins, I think about maturity, innovation, extensibility, and community," said Fatih Degirmenci, executive director of the Continuous Delivery Foundation. "We are seeing a trend in the uptake of open source by large organizations. Dominant enterprises in sectors such as financial services, semiconductors, and manufacturing who were reluctant to adopt open source in the past are now publicly embracing it. More and more, enterprises are discovering that open source software, such as Jenkins, speeds innovation and enables competitive advantage."
Jenkins is rock solid and the go-to CI/CD platform for enterprises around the world. Jenkins as the hub for continuous delivery helps companies to realize business value, accelerate software delivery and leverage any development/deployment-related technology of their choosing.
"I have been actively involved in many ways in the Jenkins community for years," said Sacha Labourey, member of the Continuous Delivery Foundation governing board, and chief strategy officer and co-founder at CloudBees. "I am proud of the community that has grown up around Jenkins and their creation of an entire industry around CI/CD and DevOps. Today Jenkins is a critical part of the IT infrastructure for enabling organizations to automate their CI/CD processes. The result is the delivery of high-quality software, faster than ever."
*Active Jenkins installations reporting usage are organizations that permit the sending of anonymous Jenkins usage data in the preceding 30 days. This statistic does not reflect all Jenkins installations - only those installations that permit the data collection. This is an extremely conservative record of Jenkins usage, as many organizations do not permit the usage information to be sent. The Jenkins project makes the monthly statistics reported publicly available.

About Jenkins
Jenkins is the leading open source automation server supported by a large and growing community of developers, testers, designers and other people interested in continuous integration, continuous delivery and modern software delivery practices. Built on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), it provides more than 1,800 plugins that extend Jenkins to automate with practically any technology software delivery teams use. In 2022, Jenkins reached 300,000 known installations making it the most widely deployed automation server. For more information about the Jenkins project, please visit https://jenkins.io.
About the Continuous Delivery Foundation
Continuous delivery (CD) is a software engineering approach in which teams produce software in short cycles, ensuring that the software can be reliably released at any time. The Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF) is a Linux Foundation initiative that serves as the vendor-neutral home for many of the fastest-growing projects, including Jenkins, Jenkins X, Spinnaker, and Tekton. The CDF fosters collaboration between the industry's top developers, end users, and vendors to further continuous delivery best practices.
