I am super excited to announce that we have released our "clone environment" feature. It is a massive update!! With one click, you can duplicate an existing environment. The cloning environment has been a significant feature expected by our customers and users for a long time. Thanks to our beta testers and our team for making it live for everyone.
First, I have to refresh your mind on what an environment is. An environment is a combination of multiple applications and databases working altogether. It is pretty typical for a company to have a production and a staging environment. The notion of "environment" is a primary concept in Qovery. Every single application belongs to an environment.
When it comes to mimicking the behavior of an existing environment, cloning makes sense. Then you get an exact copy of your applications, databases, environment variables, and secrets.
"Environment 1 clone" is the clone of "Environment 1"
Here are some excellent use cases where cloning an environment makes sense.
Test production migration
Did you ever experience a lousy migration? Reproducing a migration in the same condition is the best way to prevent critical failure when doing it for real. With Qovery, you can clone your production environment, migrate to your cloned environment, validate your changes, then delete your cloned environment. You are safe and ready to migrate to your production environment.
Mirror production for debugging
We have all been there, trying to reproduce a nasty bug in production reported by a customer, and complex to solve it because of the risk of changing your customer data. Getting the same condition to reproduce a bug and fixing it is mandatory. With Qovery, you can clone your production environment, debug on your cloned environment without risking modifying your customer data, fix it, and then smoothly release the fix in production.
Sales demo environments
There is no better way to close a sale than by letting your customers experience your product – exactly as it should be experienced.
Creating up-to-date demos for your customers can be difficult to maintain and difficult to execute. Release Environments allow you to create isolated demo environments for your customers on-demand, free from the impact and interference of other demos.
