Deployment Environments
AppKu™ utilizes a tri-environment deployment model for the majority of information systems. That means that as updates are created, they will first be deployed to environment #1, quality checked, then to environment #2, quality checked again, and then finally deploy to the "#3" production environment (and quality checked), before the update is considered "Delivered".
- The first environment is called
Stagingand is completely managed by AppKu™ internally.
The purpose of this environment is for our team to perform early-stage quality checks. - The second environment is called
Reviewand is run on your organization's infrastructure of choice.
The purpose of this environment is to provide a place for Acceptance. - The third environment is called
Productionand is run on your organization's infrastructure of choice.
The purpose of this environment is day-to-day use by your organization and team. It is the "live" environment.
