# Build and deploy

To make your application available to others, you need to build and deploy it.

Nais attempts to make this as simple as possible by providing a set of [GitHub Actions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions) and the [Nais CLI](/operate/cli.md).

Use these to compose your own build and deploy pipeline through [Github Actions workflows](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows).

## GitHub Actions

📚 [nais/docker-build-push](https://github.com/nais/docker-build-push) - Build and push container images

📚 [nais/setup](https://github.com/nais/setup)

See the respective GitHub Action links for detailed configuration options.
