For years, Jenkins has been a cornerstone of CI/CD in software development, valued for its flexibility and vast customization options. As the go-to tool for Continuous Integration (CI) and, for many, even for Continuous Deployment (CD), Jenkins has powered development pipelines for countless organisations. But what was once a perfect fit has now become a bottleneck for progress. in this blog:
Jenkins, while powerful, has started to show its limitations. The constant need for manual updates, regular maintenance, and ongoing attention is taking valuable time from your engineering teams. The continuous demand on compute resources is yet another drain. What was once an asset is now requiring ongoing “babysitting,” pulling resources and focus away from other, more strategic tasks.
Over the years, Jenkins has likely become deeply embedded in your organisation’s infrastructure, with integrations that feel too complex to abandon. Centralised operations teams often handle Jenkins, creating an additional dependency that only strengthens its place in the company’s workflow. For many, Jenkins is a spider in the web: so tightly woven into processes that moving away feels almost impossible.
At Merapar, we’ve successfully helped organisations transition away from legacy systems like Jenkins. We know that a successful migration isn’t only about switching tools but about transforming the approach to CI/CD. Our method encourages greater team ownership, where teams themselves manage and control their pipelines. We don’t simply tell you what needs to change—we demonstrate by example. Our approach empowers teams, reducing dependency on outdated systems and fostering a culture that embraces innovation and agility.
This case study reveals how a DevOps-driven platform migration accelerated time-to-market, enhanced stability, and delivered significant cost savings. Discover how our approach strengthened not only the technical infrastructure but also boosted the team’s operational efficiency and flexibility. Dive into this story to see how this strategy makes a difference in a dynamic market – and how your organization could benefit.
