What are the stages of a standard CI/CD pipeline?

A standard CI/CD pipeline usually consists of the following stages:

1. Build — compiling code, installing dependencies, creating artifacts.
2. Test — running unit, integration, and other automated tests.
3. Code Analysis — static analysis, style checks, security checks.
4. Deploy to Staging — deploying the application to a near-production environment.
5. Acceptance Testing — verifying functionality in the testing environment.
6. Production Deployment — releasing the application to end-users.

Each stage is automated and executed sequentially or in parallel, ensuring fast and reliable delivery of changes.
