[Part 1 – Setting Up the Environment]
Before deployment, we need to prepare our tools and environment:
Source Code Repository – we’ll use GitHub to store our code.
Application – a simple web app built with Node.js or Python Flask.
Deployment Platform – for this demo, we’ll use Vercel (for static and serverless apps) or Heroku (for backend apps).
Staging Environment – to test before going live.

[Part 2 – The Deployment Process]
Here’s a typical deployment flow:
Push Code to GitHub – commit your changes.
CI/CD Trigger – Vercel or Heroku automatically detects updates.
Build & Test – the platform compiles your app and runs automated tests.
Deploy to Staging – verify that everything works.
Deploy to Production – make it available to real users.
With platforms like Vercel or Heroku, this can take just minutes.

[Part 3 – Verifying the Deployment]
Once live, we must:
Test key features to ensure they work as expected.
Check logs for errors or warnings.
Monitor performance using built-in analytics or external tools.
Roll back if critical issues appear.
Good deployment isn’t just about launching—it’s about ensuring quality and stability.
