" summary

Live demo builds an app from an empty directory to a live Kubernetes cluster using Docker images, Helm charts and GitLab SaaS CI/CD, with per-branch automatic releases and a manual environment promotion to production. CI builds three Docker variants, pushes branch-tagged images to the registry, Helm installs preview releases named from branch slugs, and Helm templating uses the commit fingerprint to force redeploys. Pipeline runs on GitLab runners, creates preview domains on DigitalOcean, and completes successfully (green pipeline, reachable preview app).
