Environment layout
Separate environments exist to manage risk and learning, not to duplicate work.
- Development for experiments.
- Test/staging mirroring production.
- Production with controlled promotion.
Playbooks
Build-test-release pipeline
A single, predictable path from commit to production.
We standardize environments and promotion rules so every change follows the same calm path into production.
- Environments reduce risk, not just rename servers.
- Every change follows the same promotion path.
- Tests and checks are built in, not bolted on.
