  Building Android apps with Jenkins: release management

  The previous blog post of this series discusses what I think makes CI/CD for mobile app development a unique kind of animal, and my first steps in building Android apps with Jenkins.

  DigitalOcean and Jenkins partnership continues to grow!

  The Jenkins project wants to acknowledge and share massive thanks to DigitalOcean for their continued sponsorship. Between August 2022 and March 2023, Jenkins had been using roughly $1,300 credits a month. During March, we encountered a severe increase in our DigitalOcean workloads.

  miniJen and RISCV

  Short Introduction What is miniJen? It’s the smallest Jenkins multi-cpu-architectures instance known to this day.
