Hi Kiran. Often people do the builds on the master - that is surprisingly common.
However the power comes with distributed builds: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Distributed+builds and slaves. that is where the work ideally happens. In terms of "pushing code into" I would call those deployment targets - and there are many many many many plugins that will support deploying to many many places via many many tools (usually that happens from a slave node too, but not always). hope that helps.
