I use Jenkins because it's a straightforward and low-hassle tool for building / testing / deploying my code. It's very mature and ubiquitous with a wide variety of plugins. I have had no problem finding extensions to help me with my new integrations and edge cases.

I use Neo4j because i find it to be a superior way to store and query highly relational data. The new spatial functionality has made it even more useful.

Also, the APOC library adds a large number of extremely powerful features to the database. I know many people are purists about logic in databases but things like guid/uuid generation, geocoding, and distance algorithms are all extremely useful in the data storage context.

I use it for testing my Web Api. It's a easy tool for interacting with a RESTFul API and provides great tools for organizing requests. Also, the simple text-based configuration is easy to manage in source control and load dynamically with Newman which is great for allowing your tests to run in a CI/CD pipeline. Postman
