How do you deploy applications to production environment?

Deploying applications to a production environment typically involves several stages:

1. Building and testing the application (CI/CD).
2. Preparing the environment (servers, databases, configurations).
3. Deploying the application — copying or updating artifacts on the server.
4. Starting or restarting services.
5. Monitoring and verifying functionality.

Automation often uses CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI), containerization (Docker), and orchestration (Kubernetes). An example of a simple deployment using Docker:

# Building the image
docker build -t myapp:latest .

# Running the container
docker run -d -p 80:80 myapp:latest

Thus, the process depends on the infrastructure and project requirements.
