Overview
Create enterprise-grade Jenkins pipelines using declarative and scripted approaches to automate building, testing, and deploying with advanced control flow.
When to Use
- Enterprise CI/CD infrastructure
- Complex multi-stage builds
- On-premise deployment automation
- Parameterized builds
Quick Start
Minimal working example:
pipeline {
agent { label 'linux-docker' }
environment {
REGISTRY = 'docker.io'
IMAGE_NAME = 'myapp'
}
parameters {
string(name: 'DEPLOY_ENV', defaultValue: 'staging')
}
stages {
stage('Checkout') { steps { checkout scm } }
stage('Install') { steps { sh 'npm ci' } }
stage('Lint') { steps { sh 'npm run lint' } }
stage('Test') {
steps {
sh 'npm run test:coverage'
junit 'test-results.xml'
}
}
stage('Build') {
steps {
sh 'npm run build'
archiveArtifacts artifacts: 'dist/**/*'
}
}

Best Practices
✅ DO
- Use declarative pipelines for clarity
- Use credentials plugin for secrets
- Archive artifacts and reports
- Implement approval gates for production
- Keep pipelines modular and reusable
❌ DON'T
- Store credentials in pipeline code
- Ignore pipeline errors
- Skip test coverage reporting
- Use deprecated plugins
