BuildTurning written source code into a finished program or package that can run.
ReleaseA packaged, version-numbered edition of the software made available to users.
CI/CDThe practice of automatically testing and shipping small code changes often and safely, instead of rare, risky launches.
PipelineThe specific configured sequence of automated steps a project runs (test, build, deploy). It is the machinery that puts CI/CD into practice.
EnvironmentSeparate copies of a system: development for building, staging for testing, and production ('prod') for real users.
RollbackReverting to the previous working version when a new release causes problems.
ContainerA lightweight, self-contained bundle holding an app and everything it needs, so it runs the same way on any machine with a container runtime installed.
