How to Handle Dev/UAT/Production Environments

Single Project Approach

Keep all three environments (dev, UAT, production) in the same project.

Benefits:

  • Easy management - Everything in one place
  • Quick setup - Use "Duplicate" button to copy between environments
  • Streamlined workflow - Promote changes from dev → UAT → prod seamlessly

How to set up:

  1. Create one project for your application
  2. Name your indexes with environment prefixes: dev-products, uat-products, prod-products
  3. Use the duplicate feature to copy indexes configuration ("Duplicate" button can be found in the index page).

Alternative: Separate Projects

Create individual projects for each environment (3 projects total).

Consider this only if:

  • You have specific organizational requirements for complete separation

Important considerations:

  • Manual synchronization - No easy way to copy configurations between projects

Our Recommendation

Start with the single project approach. It's simpler, more cost-effective, and easier to manage. You can always separate later if your needs change.
