Envase Trace Environments
The Envase Trace service is deployed to three separate environments. Each of the environments serves a different purpose, which allows to implement and test functionality before is made available to other teams and to production.
The following sections explain the deployment environments.
Development/Test
This environment is provided to test the implementation of Envase Trace and all the business rules. This environment uses Mocks to emulate the interaction with the different providers; therefore, you should not expect real-world data coming from this environment.
Instead, this environment provides you with the ability to test your integration before you start testing real containers. It provides results with the correct structure; therefore, it may come handy to test your business logic during early development phases.
This environment is deployed to the following base URL:
Staging/Sandbox
This environment is provided to test the implementation of Envase Trace for features that are ready for production. It allows to stabilize the features before they are released and find potential defects without impacting production.
Once your integration is completed, you will want to use this environment to test the integration. For most providers, this environment will provide real-world data. There are some providers that due to their nature will not allow us to test against them with production data.
These providers may have a sandbox environment for us to test, and it will require for them to update their sandbox with additional data in order to test. In these cases, you should probably avoid un-scheduled testing in the staging environment.
Our goal is to provide as much real-world scenarios as possible in this environment, but you can always ask what you can or cannot do in this environment.
This environment is deployed to the following base URL:
Production
This environment hosts the production service, which will be connected to the production environments for all providers. It is possible to do some small testing on this environment, but you should avoid to do extensive testing to ensure you don’t impact our customers during their operations.
This environment is deployed to the following base URL:
