CI/CD Fundamentals
Deployment
A deployment places a version of an application or its configuration into a target environment. Building a package and deploying it are separate operations, and deployment does not necessarily expose it to all users immediately.
Why it matters
Separating deployment from compilation lets teams promote the same tested output across environments.
Practical example
Deploy a package to staging and run smoke tests before releasing it to production.
