## What it is
Jenkins X (jx) is a modular command-line CLI for Jenkins X 3.x, providing automated CI/CD on Kubernetes using Cloud Native Tekton pipelines. It automates pipeline creation, GitOps-based environment promotion, Preview Environments for pull requests, and ChatOps feedback.

## Use cases
- set up automated CI/CD pipelines on Kubernetes
- create preview environments for pull requests
- promote application versions between environments via GitOps
- import existing repositories into a CI/CD platform
- manage Tekton pipelines without deep Kubernetes knowledge
- automate upgrades and version bumps with pull requests

## When to choose
- you run workloads on Kubernetes and want GitOps-based CI/CD out of the box
- you want preview environments and ChatOps feedback on pull requests
- your team prefers Tekton-based cloud native pipelines over Jenkins servers

## When to avoid
- you deploy outside Kubernetes or want a simple single-server CI tool
- you need a lightweight pipeline runner without GitOps environment management
- your team is not prepared to operate Kubernetes clusters and GitOps workflows
