If you look at the image from the left to the right,
you can see some of the features available in GitLab
according to each stage (Verify, Package, Release).
1.**Verify**:
- Automatically build and test your application with Continuous Integration.
- Analyze your source code quality with [GitLab Code Quality](../../user/project/merge_requests/code_quality.md).
- Determine the browser performance impact of code changes with [Browser Performance Testing](../../user/project/merge_requests/browser_performance_testing.md). **(PREMIUM)**
- Determine the server performance impact of code changes with [Load Performance Testing](../../user/project/merge_requests/load_performance_testing.md). **(PREMIUM)**
- Perform a series of tests, such as [Container Scanning](../../user/application_security/container_scanning/index.md)**(ULTIMATE)**, [Dependency Scanning](../../user/application_security/dependency_scanning/index.md)**(ULTIMATE)**, and [Unit tests](../unit_test_reports.md).
- Deploy your changes with [Review Apps](../review_apps/index.md) to preview the app changes on every branch.
1.**Package**:
- Store Docker images with the [Container Registry](../../user/packages/container_registry/index.md).
- Store packages with the [Package Registry](../../user/packages/package_registry/index.md).
1.**Release**:
- Continuous Deployment, automatically deploying your app to production.
- Continuous Delivery, manually click to deploy your app to production.
- Deploy static websites with [GitLab Pages](../../user/project/pages/index.md).
- Ship features to only a portion of your pods and let a percentage of your user base to visit the temporarily deployed feature with [Canary Deployments](../../user/project/canary_deployments.md).
- Deploy your features behind [Feature Flags](../../operations/feature_flags.md).
- Add release notes to any Git tag with [GitLab Releases](../../user/project/releases/index.md).
- View of the current health and status of each CI environment running on Kubernetes with [Deploy Boards](../../user/project/deploy_boards.md).
- Deploy your application to a production environment in a Kubernetes cluster with [Auto Deploy](../../topics/autodevops/stages.md#auto-deploy).
With GitLab CI/CD you can also:
- Easily set up your app's entire lifecycle with [Auto DevOps](../../topics/autodevops/index.md).
- Deploy your app to different [environments](../environments/index.md).
- Install your own [GitLab Runner](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/).
-[Schedule pipelines](../pipelines/schedules.md).
- Check for app vulnerabilities with [Security Test reports](../../user/application_security/index.md). **(ULTIMATE)**
