Managing Environments

Definition

Environments lets you manage your campaigns across your entire development lifecycle from local development through production. This helps reduce bugs, simplify QA, and speed up delivery.

By default, your account includes:

• 1 main environment

• 1 secondary environment

---

Where to find environment settings

Manage environments from:

Settings → Feature Experimentation → Environments https://app2.abtasty.com/settings/feature-experimentation/environment

---

Configuration

You can create additional environments and customize existing ones directly within Feature Experimentation and Rollout platform.

Creating environments

Multiple environments allow you to mirror your engineering workflow such as staging, pre-production, production, and maintain consistent configurations across your development lifecycle.

To create a new environment, you must have a Super Admin role.

1. From the environment selector, click Add environment.

2. Enter the name of your new environment.

3. (Optional) Select a color for the environment. This color is used as a visual identifier across the platform to help you quickly distinguish environments and better organize your account.

4. Click Create Environment. You are redirected to your newly created environment.

The main environment (Prod) always displays a green tag. This color cannot be changed, making it easy to identify production environment and avoid mistakes.

Managing existing environments

You can manage your environments directly from the environment selector.

Available actions:

• Edit an environment name

• Edit an environment color

• Configure environment-level behaviors

• Delete an environment (with restrictions)

Deletion rules

You must maintain at least two environments at all times:

• 1 main environment (cannot be deleted)

• 1 secondary environment

Once an environment is deleted, it cannot be recovered.

Environment-level configuration

Configure the following capabilities for each environment:

• 1 visitor, 1 experiment

• Experience continuity

• Data export

• Troubleshooting mode

For developers

To use this environment in your application, configure its Environment ID and API key in your codebase.

Example workflow

If your development lifecycle includes multiple environments such as Production, Pre-production, and Staging, you can mirror this workflow in Feature Experimentation and Rollout:

1. Go to Settings → Feature Experimentation → Environments

2. Click Add environment

3. Enter Staging as the environment name

4. Click Create

5. Go to Settings → Teams

6. Add your team members and assign the appropriate roles

Once configured, you can:

• Duplicate existing campaigns from Production or Pre-production

• Or create new campaigns directly in the Staging environment
