You can visualize a DevOps process or pipeline as an infinite loop, comprising these steps:
Plan
Designing a roadmap that successfully reach your project goals and deciding what software and tools you will use.
Code
Writing code for the project
Built
We take the provided code and build it for testing purposes
Test
We use automated testing to ensure the project is functioning as expected, identifying any bugs or issues in behavior.
Release
This stage is critical and Ops team will confirm that the project is ready to be released
Deploy
Deployment is the stage where we move the project for the end-users to access
Operate
At this stage the operations team will configure and manage the project in the production environment.
Monitor
The project is being used and interacted with the team and users responses are gathered and if required
modify the project.
