how to give connection strings when deployning process?

Configuration Management:
- Store your configuration settings, including connection strings, in a separate configuration file or a configuration management system.
- In your .NET application, use configuration providers (such as appsettings.json, environment variables, or AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store) to retrieve the configuration settings.
- Make sure your application is configured to read the connection strings from the configuration providers dynamically.
Environment-Specific Configuration:
- Create separate configuration files or configuration profiles for each environment (e.g., development, pre-production, production).
- Store the connection strings specific to each environment in their respective configuration files or profiles.
GitLab Repository:
- Store your environment-specific configuration files or profiles within your GitLab repository.
- Create separate configuration files for the API and UI components, if necessary.
Jenkins CI/CD Pipeline:
- Configure your Jenkins CI/CD pipeline to handle environment-specific deployments.
- Create a separate pipeline stage or job for each environment (e.g., development, pre-production, production).
- Use Jenkins job parameters or environment variables to identify the target environment for deployment.
Deployment Process:
- During the deployment process, retrieve the environment-specific configuration files or profiles from the GitLab repository.
- Replace or update the existing configuration files or profiles on the pre-production server with the environment-specific ones obtained from GitLab.
- Ensure that the connection strings in the configuration files or profiles are updated with the appropriate values for the pre-production environment.
