Why does preprod and prod not work in production?
I’ve just recently been on a project and during the release, we realized that it didn’t work in Production. It works in all other environments but because we have a separate release team, and we cannot set up the servers and environments ourselves, we have no visibility of the configuration on them.
Can a pre production environment be used for production?
The pre-production environment should not be used by customers for production purposes. Signicat’s pre-production environment will normally be set up with the same modules, and run the same versions of our software as in production. Development, QA and deployment of these modules are performed according to Signicat’s QA framework and procedures.
Can a Preprod be installed on the same server as Prod?
I always thought that PreProd should be an identical copy to the Prod environment using a copy of the same database, using a copy of the same user account, should be installed on the same servers etc. But how far should I take it? If the web site is externally facing, should PreProd be externally facing?
