• PyPI (pypi.org)
• crates.io (Rust)
• Maven Central (Java)
• NuGet (C#)
• RubyGems (Ruby)
• Packagist (PHP)

Application Platforms

• Docker Hub / GHCR
• Netlify / Vercel (web apps)
• AWS / Azure / GCP
• Kubernetes clusters

Documentation

• GitHub Pages

Pipeline Features

Pre-Deployment

• Version validation
• Changelog generation
• Build artifact creation
• Integrity checks
• Vulnerability scanning
• License validation

Deployment

• Multi-registry publishing
• Staged rollouts
• Blue-green deployment
• Canary releases
• Rollback capability
• Smoke tests

Post-Deployment

• Deployment verification
• Health checks
• Performance monitoring
• Error tracking
• User notifications
• Documentation updates

Deployment Strategies

Immediate Release

• Direct to production
• Used for patches/hotfixes
• Requires all checks passing
• Full test suite required

Staged Rollout

• Deploy to beta first
• Monitor for issues
• Gradual production rollout
• 1% → 10% → 50% → 100%

Feature Flags

• Deploy code disabled
• Enable gradually
• A/B testing capability
• Quick disable if issues

Blue-Green

• Maintain two environments
• Switch traffic over
• Quick rollback
• Zero-downtime

Environment Management

Environments

• Development
• Staging
• Beta/Preview
• Production

Configuration

• Environment-specific settings
• Secret management
• Feature flag configuration
• API endpoint configuration

Deployment Workflows

VS Code Extension

- Build extension (.vsix)
- Run all tests
- Scan for vulnerabilities
- Publish to marketplace
- Create GitHub release
- Update documentation
- Notify users

npm Package

- Version bump
- Run tests
- Build dist
- Generate types
- Publish to npm
- Publish to GitHub Packages
- Create git tag
- Update changelog

Web Application

- Build production bundle
- Run E2E tests
- Deploy to staging
- Run smoke tests
- Deploy to production
- Health check
- Monitor errors

Deployment Tracking

• Deployment history log
• Success/failure tracking
• Time to deploy metrics
• Deployment frequency
• MTTR (Mean Time To Recovery)
• Change failure rate

Rollback Procedures

Automatic Rollback

• Health check failures
• Error rate spike
• Performance degradation
• Deployment timeout

Manual Rollback

• One-command rollback
• Restore previous version
• Notify team
• Document reason
• Post-mortem issue

Acceptance Criteria

• All target platforms supported
• Deployment strategies implemented
• Environment management working
• Rollback procedures tested
• Health checks reliable
• Metrics collection functional
• Documentation comprehensive
• Security measures in place
• Tested with 10+ deployments
• Zero-downtime proven
