Apache’s Jenkins service at builds.apache.org ranks as one of the largest in Jenkins’ publicly available usage statistics, in number of jobs and builds. Providing such a massive scale Jenkins service presents a number of challenges, and we’ve been working hard to improve Apache’s offering. Andrew Bayer will talk about where we were earlier in 2014, what we’ve done to get to the more reliable and useful state we’re in now, and what’s planned for the future. Andrew will also give some pointers on best practices for users of builds.apache.org to get the most out of Apache’s Jenkins service, as well as some lessons we’ve learned that may be helpful to others running massive scale Jenkins setups.
