What is Deployment & CI/CD?

Deployment is the process of making your application available to users. CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) automates testing and deployment, ensuring code changes are safely and quickly delivered to production.

Understanding deployment enables you to ship features faster and more reliably. Modern development practices emphasize automation. Companies expect developers to understand the full lifecycle from code to production.
