Build Stage

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. A distinct phase in a build or deployment pipeline, such as linting, compiling, testing, packaging, or publishing. Build stages make complex pipelines easier to reason about by separating concerns and allowing targeted retries or parallel execution.

    In plain English: A specific phase within a build or delivery pipeline.

    Example: "The pipeline never reached the deploy stage because the build stage that generated TypeScript types failed first."
