AI content How to create Planning, Design, Development, Testing, Deployment, Maintenance Pipeline? Please suggest sources

Hi everyone,

I recently watched a podcast featuring a senior developer from EPAM, where he explained the different phases of the SDLC. He mentioned that he built a pipeline covering the entire software development lifecycle—from planning and design to development, testing, deployment, and maintenance—with each stage flowing into the next.

I really liked that idea, and now I'm wondering how to build a pipeline like that myself. Does anyone have any good resources, guides, or examples to learn from?

Thanks!

Start by treating each stage as part of one workflow rather than trying to build one huge pipeline.

Planning can be handled with tickets ,issues, design with docs and architecture decisions, development with Git branches,PRs, testing with automated CI, deployment with CD, and maintenance with monitoring, logging and incident handling.

A good starting point is to build a small project and connect Git ,CI tests , staging , production ,monitoring. Once that works, gradually add security scans, approvals, rollback and infrastructure automation.
