For Anyone Curious About How Companies Deploy Enterprise Projects

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share a visual guide that shows the end-to-end flow of how companies typically deliver code to production.

This is especially useful if you're wondering how companies deploy large-scale or enterprise projects, regardless of tech stack.

From planning and development to testing, deployment, and monitoring, this diagram highlights typical stages and common tools used in real-world pipelines.

Overview
Here's a high-level process many companies follow:

  1. Planning & Story Creation

    • Using tools like Jira to create and pick stories.
    • Product Owners define requirements.
  2. Development & Code Commit

    • Developers pick stories and commit code.
    • Code review and feedback cycles.
  3. Build & Store Artifacts

    • Tools like SonarQube, JUnit, Jacoco for static analysis and testing.
    • Builds stored in repositories like JFrog Artifactory.
  4. Deploy to Environments

    • Dev Environment (Docker, Cloud).
    • QA Environment.
    • UAT Environment.
  5. Production Deployment

    • Supports advanced strategies like Feature Toggles, Canary Deployments, A/B Testing.
  6. Monitoring & Alerting

    • Using tools like Prometheus, SkyWalking.
    • SRE teams ensure reliability.

Example Tools & Technologies

  • Planning: Jira
  • Code Quality: SonarQube, JUnit, Jacoco
  • Build/Artifact Storage: JFrog Artifactory
  • Containers: Docker
  • Cloud Platforms: AWS, GCP, Azure
  • Monitoring: Prometheus, SkyWalking

🎯 Who Is This For?
This kind of process is essential for:

✔️ New developers learning CI/CD and release workflows
✔️ Teams improving their delivery pipelines
✔️ SREs & DevOps refining deployment strategies
✔️ AI/ML teams productionizing models
