Developers brought the source code and are asking to run it on the server. What would you do?

First, I clarify the details with the developers: what dependencies are needed, how to run (scripts, commands), whether there is documentation or a Dockerfile. Then I check the server environment — whether there are enough resources, and if the necessary software versions are installed.

Next, I create an isolated environment (for example, a Python virtual environment, Docker container) for running, so as not to affect the system. If there is a Dockerfile — I run the container; if not — I set up the environment manually.

I check the logs and the correctness of the startup, test basic scenarios. If something doesn't work — I contact the developers for clarification. After a successful launch, I document the process for reuse.
