Environments

Overview​

Each Environment in AppFlags maps to one of your deployment environments (e.g. Development, Staging, or Production). You can create any set of Environments to map to your software lifecycle.

Feature Flags exist across all of your Environments but can be managed independently in each Environment. For example, you might have a Feature Flag enabled in Staging and disabled in Production.

SDK Keys​

Each Environment has its own SDK Keys. When you initialize an AppFlags SDK, ensure you use the SDK Key for the appropriate Environment.

For more information, see SDK Keys.

Default Environments​

A new AppFlags project has the following two Environments:

  • Staging
  • Production

You can create any set of Environments to map to your software lifecycle.

We suggest creating an Environment for Development.

You can also have separate Environments for different developers, different testing environments, etc.

Creating a New Environment​

To create a new Environment:

  • Click the "Add Environment" button on the Environments tab.
  • Enter a human-readable Name for the Environment.
  • Click "Create"

The newly created Environment will have defaulted Targeting Rules that you can modify.

Deleting an Environment​

An Environment can be deleted in the Settings tab on the Environment page.

You will be prompted to confirm deletion.
