Jenkins with 200 plugins isn't CI/CD. Its a trappp !!!!

Jenkins is not upto the mark these dayss. Firstly you need to add some 250 plugins for it to effectively work and when you actually do it... there are plugins that breaks the update...

It's technical debt with a web interface.

I've seen teams spend more time maintaining their Jenkins instance than their actual product. Pipeline scripts that require a PhD to understand.

Meanwhile, their competitors are shipping features daily with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI.

Your CI/CD tool should be invisible. If you're spending more than 5% of your time maintaining it, you chose wrong.

Simple tools, simple problems. Complex tools, complex nightmares.
