Deployment: Docker, Azure, CI/CD pipelines?

Short answer: Containerize apps with Docker for consistent deployments. Use Azure App Services, Azure Kubernetes Service for cloud hosting. Set up CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps) for automated builds and deployments.

Real-world example (ShopNest)

ShopNest pipeline order matters: exception handling → HTTPS → auth → authorization → endpoints. Auth must run before protected APIs.

Say this in the interview

1. Define — one clear sentence (the short answer above).
2. Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work.
3. Trade-off — when you would not use it.
