Lifecycle

StepMeaning
ConfigureEnvironment variables, secrets, domains, and runtime settings are ready.
ReleaseCloud prepares a release candidate from project source or build output.
DeployCloud assigns the release to an environment.
RunRuntime services serve the deployed project.
ObserveLogs, traces, and deployment state show what happened.

Why releases and deployments differ

A release is what can run. A deployment is where that release is running. That split lets one release move across environments without rebuilding the same project state.
