1. A Constrained Build Environment Cannot Meet Build Requirements Tekton is a CICD engine based on a Kubernetes cluster, and it is more cloud-native than Jenkins. In plain terms, that means it is easier to develop plugins for, easier to scale, easier to observe, and more fun. Because code can only be stored on the company intranet, the build cluster can only be deployed on the office intranet.

1. Symptom - Tekton’s Clone Task Is Slow When running the clone task, Tekton is very time-consuming; with multiple repositories it generally takes around 2 minutes 30 seconds. As shown below: A pipeline that only clones takes 2 minutes 16 seconds to run, while the clone script itself actually runs for only 1-3 seconds.

1. Background 1.1 Problems with the Current Use of Jenkins The orchestration engine is unstable Jenkins is an orchestration engine written in Java, and it stops the world (STW) during a full GC. Under large-scale builds, STW can prevent Jenkins from handling new requests. Heavy builds stall Jenkins stores data in disk files; every pipeline and every build occupies a file directory, producing a huge number of files.
