4. Build Pipeline Configuration

   GitHub Actions Example:

   name: CI/CD Pipeline
   
   on:
     push:
       branches: [ main, develop ]
     pull_request:
       branches: [ main ]
   
   jobs:
     test:
       runs-on: ubuntu-latest
       steps:
         - uses: actions/checkout@v3
         - name: Setup Node.js
           uses: actions/setup-node@v3
           with:
             node-version: '18'
             cache: 'npm'
         - run: npm ci
         - run: npm run test
         - run: npm run build
   

   GitLab CI Example:

     runs-on: ubuntu-latest
     steps:
       - uses: actions/checkout@v3
       - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
         with:
           node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}

     with:
       path: ~/.npm
       key: ${{ runner.os }}-node-${{ hashFiles('**/package-lock.json') }}

   COPY package*.json ./
   RUN npm ci --only=production
   
   FROM node:18-alpine AS runtime
   WORKDIR /app
   COPY --from=builder /app/node_modules ./node_modules
   COPY . .
