Is-software tipikament jiġi deployat permezz ta' multiple ambjenti — bħal development, staging, u production — kull wieħed jservi għal skop partikolari fil-passaġġ mill-kodiċi sal-utenti ħajjin. Il-promozzjoni tal-kodiċi permezz tal-ambjenti taqbad issues qabel ma jilħqu l-utenti reali.
L-ambjenti tipiċi
DEVELOPMENT (dev) → where developers build and test (local or a shared dev environment);
unstable, frequent changes, experimentation
STAGING (test/QA/pre-prod) → a PRODUCTION-LIKE environment for final testing:
→ mirrors production (same config/infrastructure as closely as possible)
→ run integration/E2E tests, QA, UAT before releasing
→ catch issues in a safe, prod-like setting BEFORE real users see them
PRODUCTION (prod) → the LIVE environment serving real users:
→ stability is critical; changes are careful and monitored
