What did the releases look like and how exactly did you participate in them?

I participated in releases at several stages:

• Preparation: building artifacts, testing, creating release branches.
• Automation: setting up CI/CD pipelines for automatic deployment and testing.
• Deployment: launching updates on test and production environments with minimal downtime.
• Monitoring: tracking the status of services after release, quickly responding to incidents.

For example, I configured a Jenkins pipeline that, after successful testing, automatically rolled out a new version of the service in Kubernetes using rolling update, ensuring continuous operation and rollback in case of errors.
