Happy first birthday @jenkinsxio, the CI/CD solution for cloud native!
It's been just over a year since the first git commits to the jx repo.
In just 12 month, Jenkins X progress has been breathtaking, so here's a tweet for each month celebrating just that (with cake! 🎂)

In just 12 month, Jenkins X progress has been breathtaking, so here's a tweet for each month celebrating just that (with cake! 🎂)
🍰 Firstly, Jenkins X is the brainchild of @jstrachan of @CloudBees, who also built popular OSS such as @ApacheGroovy, Camel, etc, with enduring OSS communities around them. With that experience, James simply gets developers and what they want, need and care about.
Developers WANT to ship code fast.
Developers NEED to use best practices so everything doesn't fall over in a big fat heap.
Developers CARE ABOUT what they are building; the code, the quirks: (it makes one-size-fits-all tools hard to build).
🍰@jenkinsxio gets all of this.

🍰@jenkinsxio gets all of this.
🍰 Preview environments - this is the @jenkinsxio killer feature. Forget just looking at code to work out how good a PR is, with Jenkins X you can get early feedback by reviewing the actual functionality in an automatically provisioned environment. jenkins-x.io/developing/pre…
🍰#DevEx - @jenkinsxio can do this & much more because it builds on Kubernetes & its ecosystem (@HelmPack, etc). But @kubernetesio is hard so Jenkins X abstracts alot of complexity away e.g. with a one line 'jx' command to create a fully formed cluster.
🍰Multicloud - Jenkins X can create a cluster with a single command on virtually any flavour of @kubernetesio: @googlecloud, @awscloud, @Azure, @OracleCloud, etc
Devs can get started without need to know CLIs, what RBAC or ingress controllers are. jenkins-x.io/getting-starte…

🍰CI/CD Best practices - @jenkinsxio figures out best practices for CD for cloud native apps & provides them out-of-the-box, including #GitOps and the capabilities from @nicolefv's #accelerate book that can be codified. jenkins-x.io/about/accelera… 
🍰Extensibility - there are myriad ways to extend @jenkinsxio but the most popular is creating a new quickstart template - the community have contributed so many of these for different languages/frameworks. jenkins-x.io/extending/
🍰Workloads - Not everybody has the luxury of starting on cloud native apps from fresh. so recently @jenkinsxio added buildpacks to bridge the cloud-native divide for @jenkinsio workloads such as Java, Maven, Gradle etc... jenkins-x.io/architecture/b…
🍰'The Wow Effect' - from the early adopters trying out jenkinsxio, we hear 'wow' alot, e.g.
-this fab blog post from @dailymotionEng medium.com/dailymotion/fr…
-or the best Youtube comment in history on this vid: 'Take my wow!'

🍒Community - is of course the cherry on top. So many have made contributions to @jenkinsxio, given feedback or even just been good sports making the @jenkinsxio signal 🙅♀️🙅🏾♂️ Thank you all!
🎂Finally, I'd say the X in Jenkins X stands for eXperience, as in developer eXperience & transforming the way devs continuously deliver code. I'm excited to see how things progress in the next 12 months!
So again, happy first birthday @jenkinsxio!
