What steps and processes are implemented from pushing code to a remote repository until its deployment to production?

After pushing code to a remote repository, a chain of CI/CD (Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment) processes usually starts:

1. Build — the source code is compiled, and artifacts are assembled (e.g., JAR, WAR files for Java).
2. Testing — automated tests (unit tests, integration, e2e) are run to verify the correctness of changes.
3. Code quality analysis — static analysis, style checks, test coverage.
4. Artifact publication — the built and tested artifacts are uploaded to an artifact repository (e.g., Nexus, Artifactory).
5. Deployment to test environments — automatic or semi-automatic deployment to staging or testing servers for additional verification.
6. Manual or automatic approval — review and confirmation of readiness for production.
7. Deployment to production — deploying the application to live servers, often using orchestration tools (Kubernetes, Ansible, Jenkins, etc.).

Thus, from code push to production deployment, several automation and quality control stages ensure stability and reliability of releases.
