Deployment

Deployment is the process of making software applications available for use in a production environment, typically involving steps like building, testing, and releasing code. It encompasses activities such as configuring servers, managing dependencies, and ensuring the application runs reliably for end-users. This process is critical for delivering updates, new features, and bug fixes to live systems.

Also known as: Deploy, Release, Production Deployment, App Deployment, Software Release

Developers should learn deployment to ensure their applications are accessible, scalable, and maintainable in real-world scenarios, such as web apps, mobile apps, or microservices. It is essential for continuous delivery, reducing downtime, and automating release cycles, which improves team productivity and user experience.
