1. Its preferred build automation and DevOps tool primarily used for Java projects since its open source. 2.Easy to manage all the dependencies via single Project Object Model (POM) file pom.xml 3. It integrates seamlessly with continuous integration and continuous delivery pipeline CI/CD along with Jenkins, making it pretty much easily suitable for automated builds, testing, and deployment.

Maven is primarily command line based, which makes it hard to get started with. But if you learn the basics, you can build on that step by step. There are extensions and plugins for almost anything you need. Most reacently I have enjoyed the jib plugin to build docker images directly from maven. This is what maven can do, it makes the dev process managed end-to-end and makes it repeatable. There is endless support for maven online, with officially supported plugins and tons of community support and examples on stackoverflow, etc. To get started with maven, the initial learning curve can be steep. You have to invest a bit in understanding. But also you can "run it blind" by checking out a project configured by someone else and it will work fine. That's the point, it integrates into your project very closely to save other people time. I use maven when I'm working every day to build and test my code. I don't push my code to CI without running it in maven first. Even if it passes in my IDE I rely on "if it build on maven here, it build on maven in CI" where it counts. So it's great that it integrates with both workstation and continuous integration.
