How do you define the application deployment process and its main stages?

The application deployment process is a sequence of actions aimed at preparing and launching the application in a production environment.

Main stages:

1. Build — compiling source code, assembling binary files or artifacts.
2. Test — automated or manual testing to verify correct operation.
3. Provisioning — configuring servers, databases, network resources.
4. Deployment — copying and installing the application on target servers.
5. Configuration — setting application parameters for a specific environment.
6. Start — launching the application and checking its operability.
7. Monitoring and support — tracking the application's status and troubleshooting.

In Go (Golang), building is usually done with the go build command, after which the binary is transferred to the server and started. Automation of these stages is often implemented using CI/CD systems.
