Can you describe the stages involved in your CI/CD automation process?

The CI/CD automation process typically includes the following stages:

1. Version Control — source code is stored in a version control system (e.g., Git).
2. Build — automatic building of the project on each commit or on a schedule.
3. Testing — running unit tests, integration tests, and other automated checks.
4. Code Quality Analysis — static analysis, coverage checks.
5. Deployment to testing environments — automatic deployment of the application to staging or testing environments.
6. Automated testing in the environment — functional, load testing.
7. Release and deployment to production — automated or semi-automated release of a new version.
8. Monitoring and feedback — tracking application status and collecting metrics.

Tool examples: Jenkins/GitLab CI for build and deployment, Docker for containerization, Kubernetes for orchestration, SonarQube for code analysis.
