Stages & Lifecycle

Stages are logical entities within the JFrog platform that represent the steps in your organization's Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) through which a release candidate must pass (such as DEV, QA, STAGING, and PROD) before it is released. Each stage is configured with its own set of associated repositories and permissions.

After defining global and project stages, administrators choose the stages to include in the lifecycle used for promoting Release Bundle v2 versions (for Release Lifecycle Management) or application versions (for AppTrust) until the version is ready for release.

Artifactory contains a default stage for releases called PROD (Production). You can create additional stages for specific projects and global stages that can be used by all projects.

Stages and Lifecycle Workflow

The following workflow describes how to create stages and define your lifecycle.

	Procedure	Using the Platform UI	Using REST API
1	Create global and project stages	Create Stages in the Platform UI	Create Lifecycle Stage `POST https://{{artifactory-host}}/access/api/v2/stages/`
2	Assign repositories to stages	Assign Repositories to Stages in the Platform UI	Create Repository `PUT /artifactory/api/repositories/{repoKey}` Update Repository Configuration `POST /artifactory/api/repositories/{repoKey} -H "Content-Type: application/json"` Update Multiple Repositories `POST /artifactory/api/v2/repositories/batch`
3	Define the project lifecycle	Edit the Lifecycle in the Platform UI	Update Lifecycle `PATCH https://{{artifactory-host}}/access/api/v2/lifecycle/`
