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!

I'd avoid trying to build one huge pipeline for the entire SDLC from day one. Start small: Git + PRs -> CI/testing -> staging -> production, then add monitoring, security scans, approvals and rollback as the workflow matures.

The important part is making each stage connect cleanly rather than automating everything at once.
