What is the build process in CI/CD?

The build process in CI/CD is the stage where the project's source code is compiled, assembled, and prepared for subsequent testing and deployment. It typically includes the following steps:

1. Obtaining the latest version of the code from the version control system (e.g., Git).
2. Installing dependencies and libraries required for the build.
3. Compiling the source code (if necessary).
4. Performing static analysis or linting of the code.
5. Creating build artifacts (e.g., binary files, packages, containers).

This process is automated using CI/CD systems (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, etc.) and is triggered with each commit or on a schedule, ensuring quick feedback and product stability.
