Summary

JFrog Pipelines is a CI/CD solution integrated into the JFrog DevOps Platform, designed to enhance automation, security, and efficiency in software delivery. Unlike standalone CI/CD tools, Pipelines is part of a comprehensive system that includes Artifactory, Xray, and Distribution, enabling seamless management of binary and artifact lifecycles. The platform uses native steps for common tasks, reducing the need for complex scripting and simplifying processes like Docker image building, GoLang app creation, and Kubernetes deployments. It offers out-of-the-box integrations with popular services such as GitHub, Slack, AWS, and Kubernetes, making setup straightforward and maintenance effortless through automatic updates. Centralized permissions and secrets management ensure consistent access and security across the platform, while being part of JFrog's unified ecosystem allows for streamlined administration and enhanced DevSecOps capabilities. Available as a SaaS add-on or included in certain JFrog Platform licenses, Pipelines aims to provide an end-to-end solution that promotes DevOps best practices from code commit to deployment.
