Source Map - CI/CD Glossary Definition
A source map is a file that maps positions in compiled, minified, or bundled output back to the original source, so debuggers and error reporters can show meaningful file names and line numbers.
In CI
Production builds emit source maps as separate .map artifacts. They are uploaded to error trackers (e.g. Sentry) rather than shipped to users, so stack traces stay readable.
