Multi-stage continuous integration

Hey there! Let me explain to you what multi-stage continuous integration means.

Imagine that you want to build a tower with different floors, but you have to check and make sure that each floor is sturdy and stable before you add more floors to it. This is similar to multi-stage continuous integration.

When people create software, they write a lot of code that needs to work well together. It is important that this code is tested to make sure that it works properly. This is where continuous integration comes in.

Continuous integration is like checking every block that you put in the tower to make sure that it doesn't shake or wobble. However, if we have too much code to test all at once, it can become very difficult to keep track of it all. That's where multi-stage continuous integration comes in.

Instead of testing all the code at once, we break it down into smaller parts called stages. Each stage tests a different part of the code.

For example, we might have one stage that tests whether the code does what it's supposed to do. Another stage might test how fast the code runs.

Just like building a tower, we can't add more floors until the previous floor is stable. Similarly, we can't move on to the next stage of testing until we know the previous stage is working as expected.

This way, we can ensure that our code is working properly and catch any errors early on so they can be fixed easily.

I hope that clears things up for you!
