GitLab CI/CD Multiple runners

Question

im not sure if this has already been indicated in the docs but i want to know if this is possible

i have 2 runners (1 for building, and 1 for deploying) i have my .gitlab-ci.yml configured to run 2 jobs

job1 to build job2 to deploy

but currently both jobs run in parallel.

what i need is for job2 to wait for job1.

is the above scenario possible?

here is my sample .gitlab-ci.yml

job1: 
  tags: 
    - test1
  script:
    - echo Starting test build
    - ./mvnw clean package -DskipTest
  before_script:
    - cd backend
    - chmod +x mvnw

job2: 
  tags: 
    - deploy
  script:
    - echo Deployment Test
  before_script:
    - echo Pre-Deployment scripts running

thanks

Define 'stages' for the jobs.

stages:
  - job1
  - job2

job1: 
  tags: 
    - test1
  script:
    - echo Starting test build
    - ./mvnw clean package -DskipTest
  before_script:
    - cd backend
    - chmod +x mvnw

job2: 
  tags: 
    - deploy
  script:
    - echo Deployment Test
  before_script:
    - echo Pre-Deployment scripts running
