A DevOps engineer is configuring a new CI/CD pipeline for a microservice. After source changes are merged, the pipeline must create an artifact that contains the compiled application plus all runtime dependencies so later stages can promote it to staging and production. Which pipeline stage performs this task?
The build stage compiles the source code and bundles all required dependencies, producing a single artifact (such as a container image, executable, or package) that downstream testing and deployment stages can consume. Activities like reviewing, security scanning, and integration checks validate quality or compliance but do not assemble the distributable artifact.
