| The CI pipeline includes Pre and Post-build steps to validate and introduce checkpoints in the build process. | ||
| The pre/post plugins allow you to execute some standard tasks, such as Code analysis, Load testing, Security scanning etc. You can build custom pre-build/post-build tasks or select one of the standard preset plugins provided by Devtron. | ||
| The build and deployment pipelines includes Pre/Post stages where you can configure predefined or custom tasks to validate and introduce checkpoints in the build and deploy process. |

The build and deployment pipelines also include a pre stage and a post stage:
* **Pre Stage** - Tasks to be executed before the build/deployment pipeline triggers.
* **Post Stage** - Tasks to be executed only after the successful execution of the build/deployment pipeline.
**Examples**: Tasks like code analysis, Jira Issue updation, load testing, security scanning, etc.

| Preset plugins are micro tools that allow you to enhance and refine the CI/CD workflow of your application by adding new features, integrating with external tools, and automating tasks. Unlike custom scripts, preset plugins come bundled with specific variables and conditions that help you make the plugins work seamlessly with your CI/CD pipeline. | ||

| Some plugins are specific to build pipelines (used in **Pre-Build** and **Post-Build** stages), while others are specific to deployment pipelines (used in **Pre-Deployment** and **Post-Deployment** stages). |

Some plugins are applicable to both build as well as deployment. Earlier our API process showed 3 options:
- CI
- CD
- CI_CD

| > * Post-Build Stage: The tasks in this stage are triggered once the build is complete. | ||
| In Devtron, a task is a step within a CI/CD pipeline that runs a specific operation, such as executing a script or running a container image. Tasks can be created using preset plugins or custom scripts, and are executed in sequence to complete the process. | ||
