This article feels like it's from years ago. Using Jenkins today is an anachronism - poor UI, poor configuration, poor scalability, poor distribution. My current employer has poured so much well intentioned effort into Jenkins' black hole. Never again.

What are you going to use instead?

Migrating to Travis and a SWF-based solution, all driven by versioned configuration and code.

From a quick look Travis doesn't seem to be open-source or even usable on-premise.

Open source is not a requirement. Neither is the ability to run locally, which is something we'd like to very much move away from.

I've been meaning to take a closer look at http://concourse.ci/ at some point. It looks like it could be a viable alternative to Jenkins for many things.
