Content Summary

JetBrains reports from their State of Developer Ecosystem 2025 survey that 55% of developers regularly use CI/CD tools, with GitHub Actions leading at 33% organizational adoption, followed by Jenkins at 28% and GitLab CI at 19%.

Reliability: Medium

Based on JetBrains developer survey — large sample but self-selected respondents.

Relevance: Medium

Developer-level adoption data (55%) differs from project-level data; useful for cross-referencing.

Bias Assessment

Domain Rating Rationale
Missing Data Some concerns Survey sample may not represent all developers — JetBrains users may skew toward more tool-heavy practices.
Measurement Some concerns Self-reported survey data subject to recall and selection bias.
Selective Reporting Low risk JetBrains reports detailed breakdowns including competitors' tools.
Randomization N/A Survey study, not RCT.
Protocol Deviation N/A Not an RCT.
Conflict Of Interest Some concerns JetBrains sells TeamCity CI — interest in CI market data, though they report competitors fairly.
