Travis CI vs. Jenkins:

Which CI/CD tool is right for you

Whether you’re just validating your CI/CD future or ready to migrate from hand-written Bash scripts to the convenience of testing and deploying in the cloud, Travis CI is the simple and extensible experience designed for you: the developer.

A simple syntax for even the most sophisticated jobs

Travis CI’s user-friendly YAML syntax requires at least 33% fewer lines of configuration—perfect for developers in small-to-midsize teams who need to maximize the impact of automation and quality control in minutes.

Developer experience and extensibility to scale

Modern user experience
With our modern UI and API, your team will get a great experience whether they use Travis CI Enterprise with their web browser or our command line client.
No maintenance bottleneck
Maintaining the builds of your repositories should be everyone’s job. Instead of relying on that one build person in the team, Travis CI makes infrastructure and configuration a team responsibility.
Consistent environments
Instead of using the build agent approach, where a machine or host is reused between builds, Travis CI creates each build in a new, clean, and consistent environment for reliable results.
Secret management
Manage secrets easily together with your build configuration, through your browser for each repository, or with the simple HashiCorp Vault integration—Travis CI ensures they’re never exposed to users and contributors.
Simplified (aka zero) deployment
Instead of downloading .war files and maintaining the entire lifecycle of the Jenkins process, start testing and deploying right away in the longest-running cloud-based CI/CD tool.
Familiarity
Developers of all experience levels will find Travis CI’s dashboard and version control system integrations easy to understand, making it easier for them to get started and testing your team’s repositories as well.
Easy to manage pipelines
Your time is valuable—with Travis CI, you set up new pipelines in a fraction of the time and without involving operations or IT. Add sophistication to your build with easy extensibility as you evolve and scale.
Easy to maintain upgrade

When you opt for Travis CI Enterprise, upgrading to the newest release takes only five minutes, minimizing your reliance on operations or IT. Our support team is always there for unexpected hiccups.

Simple to start. Intuitive to extend.
