What is Deployments?

In software development, "Deployments" refer to the process of releasing and installing software onto a target environment (e.g., production, staging, testing). This involves packaging the application code, dependencies, and configuration files, and then transferring them to the servers or systems where the application will run. Deployments often include steps to configure the environment, start the application, and verify that it's functioning correctly. Modern deployment strategies often involve automation, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, and infrastructure as code (IaC) to ensure efficient, reliable, and repeatable deployments.
