+# Permify Java Deployment
+
+## Deployment Process
+
+The release process is partially automated via GitHub Actions. Here’s how it works:
+
+1. **Triggering the Generator Workflow**  
+   - After a release is created in the main branch of main Permify repository, the generator workflow will be triggered automatically.
+   - If it does not trigger automatically, it can be run manually using **Workflow Dispatch**.  
+
+2. **Pull Request Creation & Merge**  
+   - The generator workflow will create a pull request and merge it back into the repository.  
+
+3. **Dependency Check & Build**  
+   - Ensure that the dependency versions in `build.gradle` match those in `pom.xml`.  
+   - Run a clean build:   
+     ```bash
+     ./gradlew clean build
+     ```  
+
+4. **Deployment**  
+   - Deployment to Maven Central (Sonatype) is **not yet configured** in GitHub Actions.  
+   - To publish locally:  
+     1. Configure your **Sonatype credentials** (`username` and `password`) in `gradle.properties`.  
+     2. Run:  
+        ```bash
+        ./gradlew sonatypeCentralUpload
+        ```  
+   - This will push the artifact to the Maven Central registry.
