How was the CI/CD set up? Did you use GitLab pipeline or something separate?

In our project, we used GitLab CI/CD pipeline for CI/CD, which allowed automating the build, testing, and deployment of the frontend application. The configuration was described in the .gitlab-ci.yml file, where stages (stages) were defined — for example, build, test, deploy.

Example of a simple pipeline:

stages:
  - build
  - test
  - deploy

build_job:
  stage: build
  script:
    - npm install
    - npm run build
  artifacts:
    paths:
      - dist/

test_job:
  stage: test
  script:
    - npm run test

deploy_job:
  stage: deploy
  script:
    - ./deploy.sh
  only:
    - master

This approach allowed for quick feedback on code quality and automatically deploying new versions to test and production servers. Using GitLab pipeline was convenient because it was integrated with the repository and did not require a separate service.
