are working on. And as mentioned above, API changes should be discussed
thoroughly before moving to code.

Some examples of types of pull requests that are immediately helpful:

  - Fixing a bug without changing a public API.
  - Fixing or improving documentation.
  - Improvements to Maven configuration.

Guidelines for any code contributions:

1.  Any significant changes should be accompanied by tests. The project already

This is in contrast to the **development** stages, where you are constantly changing the code, breaking it and fixing it, stopping and restarting the development server, etc.

## Deployment Strategies { #deployment-strategies }

There are several ways to do it depending on your specific use case and the tools that you use.
