Do you use task types in Jenkins, such as Freestyle or creating custom libraries?

In Jenkins, I use different types of tasks depending on the project needs. Freestyle tasks are a basic type that allows quick setup of simple build and test pipelines without complex configuration. They are convenient for small projects or one-time tasks.

For more complex scenarios, I prefer to use Pipeline (scripted tasks), which allow describing the build process as code, providing greater flexibility and reusability. Creating custom libraries (Shared Libraries) helps to extract repetitive code and logic into separate modules, simplifying maintenance and scaling of pipelines.

Example of using Shared Library in Jenkins Pipeline:

@Library('my-shared-library') _

pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage('Build') {
            steps {
                mySharedLibrary.buildProject()
            }
        }
    }
}
