The "polling must die" blog post is still applicable, even with Pipeline. Much better to find a way to have the git repository notify Jenkins that a commit has arrived, rather than having Jenkins periodically ask if a commit has arrived. Major git providers (GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, Gitea) provide web hooks that will notify Jenkins. Many of those webhooks are even automatically managed by Jenkins. Jenkins servers behind firewalls can use web hook routing tools to receive notifications inside the firewall from a git hosting service outside the firewall.
