Multi-Environment Support

​

Environment Types

​

Development

• Purpose: Local development and testing
• Data: Test data only
• Keys: Development API keys
• Isolation: Separate from production

​

Staging

• Purpose: Pre-production testing
• Data: Production-like test data
• Keys: Staging API keys
• Isolation: Separate from production

​

Production

• Purpose: Live customer-facing environment
• Data: Real customer data
• Keys: Production API keys
• Isolation: Fully isolated

​

Environment Configuration

​

Separate Accounts

• Development Account: For development
• Staging Account: For staging
• Production Account: For production

​

Separate API Keys

import os

# Get key from environment variable
api_key = os.getenv("VALMI_API_KEY")

# Development: VALMI_API_KEY=sk_test_dev_abc123
# Staging: VALMI_API_KEY=sk_test_staging_xyz789
# Production: VALMI_API_KEY=sk_live_prod_def456

value = ValueClient(api_key=api_key)

​

Separate Agent Keys

# Development
agent_key = os.getenv("VALMI_AGENT_KEY_DEV", "agent_dev_abc123")

# Staging
agent_key = os.getenv("VALMI_AGENT_KEY_STAGING", "agent_staging_xyz789")

# Production
agent_key = os.getenv("VALMI_AGENT_KEY_PROD", "agent_prod_def456")

value.send_action(agent_key=agent_key, ...)

​

Environment Variables

# Development
export VALMI_API_KEY="sk_test_dev_abc123"
export VALMI_AGENT_KEY="agent_dev_abc123"
export VALMI_ENV="development"

# Staging
export VALMI_API_KEY="sk_test_staging_xyz789"
export VALMI_AGENT_KEY="agent_staging_xyz789"
export VALMI_ENV="staging"

# Production
export VALMI_API_KEY="sk_live_prod_def456"
export VALMI_AGENT_KEY="agent_prod_def456"
export VALMI_ENV="production"

​

Environment Isolation

• Data Isolation: No data sharing between environments
• Key Isolation: Keys only work in their environment
• Configuration Isolation: Separate configuration per environment

​

Best Practices

• Separate Accounts: Use separate accounts for each environment
• Different Keys: Use different keys per environment
• Environment Variables: Use environment variables for configuration
• No Production Data in Dev: Never use production data in development
• Test in Staging: Always test in staging before production
• Document Configuration: Document environment configuration

​

Deployment Workflow

1. Development: Develop and test locally
2. Staging: Deploy to staging for integration testing
3. Production: Deploy to production after staging validation

​

Environment Management

• Create Environments: Set up new environments as needed
• Sync Configuration: Keep configuration in sync (where appropriate)
• Monitor Separately: Monitor each environment independently
• Rotate Keys: Rotate keys per environment
