Last fall, prior to Jenkins World, CloudBees conducted a
Community Survey.
We received over 1200 responses, and thanks to this input, we have some
interesting insights into how Jenkins users and their use of Jenkins are
evolving.
Based on the survey’s results, Jenkins is increasingly being used to support
continuous delivery (CD). Adoption of Jenkins 2, which featured "Pipeline as code" and
encouraged users to adopt Jenkins Pipeline, has
skyrocketed to more than half of all Jenkins installations. Other data
remained consistent with findings year-to-year, for example, the number of
Jenkins users continues to increase and 90% of survey respondents still
consider Jenkins mission-critical.

Here are some of the key findings:
85% of respondants indicated that Jenkins usage had increased
30% of organizations with more than 50 software projects used Jenkins in 2016 as compared to 16% in 2015
An impressive 46% of respondents were running Jenkins 2.x, eight months after
its release.
Adoption of Jenkins Pipeline for continuous delivery
(CD) is accelerating, 54% of respondents who have adopted CD are using Pipeline.
61% of respondents are deploying changes to production at least once per week
Linux is the platform of choice for builds, favored by 85% of respondents
85% of respondants use Git as the source code repository
Half of respondents are deploying applications directly to the cloud, with Amazon Web Services as the favored platform
We want to thank everyone for completing the survey, and congratulations to
Iker Garcia for winning a free pass to
Jenkins World 2017 and to
Dave Leifer for winning the Amazon gift card.
We’re looking forward to creating a 2017 Community Survey later this year and
hearing more from users at Jenkins World 2017 in San Francisco, we hope to
see you there!
