Staging & Production Environments, Turnkey
An isolated staging environment with its own database and domain, a production server with health-checks and instant rollback, and automated tests in between. One-command deploys, releases without late-night firefighting.
Set up the environmentsIsolated staging environment
A separate server, a separate database, a separate domain. The QA tester clicks through tasks in conditions identical to production, while no experiment can ever touch live users.
Staged deploy in 3 stages
Branch checks → deploy to staging with automatic Jira transitions → E2E tests → production. A single command, make staged-deploy, takes the release through every checkpoint.
Playwright E2E tests
57+ end-to-end tests run on staging before every release: sign-up, payments, the key user scenarios. Reports with screenshots — one command away.
One image — both environments
The Docker image verified on staging goes to production without a rebuild. "It worked on staging but broke on prod" is physically impossible: the environments are identical.
Health-checks and rollback
After a deploy, production checks itself; if something is off — one command rolls back to the previous version. Release versioning and logs are always at hand.
Backups and migrations
Scheduled automatic database backups, ORM migrations that run on staging before production, test data sync. Your data is protected at every step.
How we set up the environments
Infrastructure audit
We review your current servers, databases and release process, and pick a VPS configuration for your load and budget.
Containerization
We pack the services into Docker: API, frontend, database, workers, Nginx. Docker Compose files for dev and prod.
Staging environment
We bring up an isolated stand with its own database and domain, and configure auto-deploy and data sync.
Automated tests
We write Playwright E2E tests for the key scenarios and embed them into staged deploy as a mandatory checkpoint.
Production and rollback
We configure the production deploy with health-checks, versioning and one-command rollback, then hand over the documentation.
These environments carry a live product
CHATBOSS.PRO deploys through this exact scheme: a staging environment with an isolated database, 57+ Playwright E2E tests, staged deploy to production with health-checks. Users don't notice releases — the best compliment an infrastructure can get.
Frequently Asked Questions
We have a single server. Do we need two?
Preferably, but not necessarily: the staging environment can live on the same server in isolated containers with a separate database and subdomain. As the load grows, it moves to its own VPS without changing the process.
How long does the setup take?
Usually 1–2 weeks: containerization, two environments, staged deploy and a basic test suite. Complex monoliths take longer — we estimate after the audit.
Will releases really become safe?
A release passes four checkpoints: AI code review, QA acceptance on staging, E2E tests, and a production health-check. Plus instant rollback if something still slips through.
