How was the application deployment carried out in your project?

Deploying an application in a project typically involves several stages:

1. Build and testing — the code is compiled and automated tests are run.
2. Environment preparation — setting up servers, databases, environment variables.
3. Deployment — copying or publishing artifacts (such as packages, containers) to the server.
4. Launching and verification — starting the application and checking its functionality.

In my project, automation tools such as CI/CD pipelines on Jenkins or GitLab CI were used, which automatically built and deployed the application to test and production servers. For Python applications, virtual environments and dependency managers (pip, poetry) were often used, along with Docker containerization to simplify deployment and scaling.

An example of a simple script for deploying a Python application:

# Create a virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run the application
python app.py

In more complex cases, Docker and orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes) were used to manage containers.
