Build
Turning source code and supporting files into software that can be run or installed
What's it for?
Turns the files developers work on into software that can actually be tested or run.
For example…
The pipeline compiles the service and produces a container image tagged with the commit hash
After a developer commits code, the build produces version 2.4 of the application ready for testing.
Think of it like…
Baking: ingredients (source) become a loaf (artefact) you can slice, wrap and deliver
