How is the release process of a new product version implemented in your project?

The process of releasing a new version of a product typically includes several stages:

1. Preparation for release: development and testing of new features are completed, bugs are fixed.
2. Build and packaging: a build (e.g., JAR, WAR, Docker image) with the new version is created.
3. Release testing: integration and acceptance testing are conducted in a test environment.
4. Deployment to production: the new version is rolled out to live servers. CI/CD pipelines are often used for automation.
5. Monitoring and rollback: after release, stability is monitored, and if necessary, a rollback to the previous version is performed.
