Continuous integration (CI) is an essential approach in software development that allows organizations to iterate quickly while minimizing the risk of releasing faulty code. Jenkins, one of the most mature and widely used automation servers on the market, helps implement CI by enabling easy integration with other tools in the development workflow. Datadog Synthetic Monitoring offers a comprehensive suite of tests that can be run as part of Jenkins pipelines to gain visibility into applications during development. By adding these tests to existing Jenkins pipelines and monitoring their results in Datadog, developers can release software faster without sacrificing quality.
