Each app in a pipeline represents one of the following steps in a continuous delivery workflow:

• Review
• Development
• Staging
• Production

A common Heroku continuous delivery workflow has the following steps:

1. A developer creates a pull request to make a change to the codebase.
2. Heroku automatically creates a review app for the pull request, allowing developers to test the change.
3. When the change is ready, it’s merged into the codebase’s master branch.
4. The master branch is automatically deployed to staging for further testing.
5. When it’s ready, the staging app is promoted to production, where the change is available to end users of the app.

The pipelines overview page helps you visualize this flow, as well as meta information about the status of each stage. For example, you can see if your production app is running different code than staging.
