Overview

Setting up a staging environment in WeWeb matters for testing new features, debugging problems, and making sure your web apps run smoothly before going live. You create a separate version of your app that looks just like the production one. This way, you can see how things work in a real-world scenario without touching the live site. Key steps? Configure a new workspace, tweak deployment settings, import data, and sync content. Doing this right helps development teams make safer, smarter updates to their apps.

How to set up a staging environment in WeWeb?

Step 1: Log in to WeWeb

  • Fire up your favorite web browser.
  • Head over to the WeWeb website.
  • Pop in your credentials and log into your WeWeb account.

Step 2: Create a New Project

  • Once you're in, find and click the "Create New Project" button.
  • Give your project a name in the pop-up dialog, then hit "Create".

Step 3: Configure Environment Settings

  • Go to the "Project Settings" tab on the left sidebar.
  • Under settings, find and click on the "Environments" tab.
  • Click "Add Environment" to create a new one.
  • Name this environment "Staging" and click "Save".

Step 4: Configure Domains

  • In the "Environments" tab, find the staging environment you just made.
  • Add a specific domain or subdomain for staging. Something like staging.yourdomain.com.
  • Make sure the DNS settings for this domain or subdomain are set up correctly.

Step 5: Set Up Database Configuration

  • Head over to the "Data" tab in the left sidebar.
  • Click on "Data Sources" and add any databases you need.
  • Ensure the staging environment points to a separate staging database so you don't mix up staging data with production data.

Step 6: Deploy to Staging

  • Go back to the "Project Settings" tab.
  • Under the "Environments" tab, select the staging environment.
  • Click "Deploy" to push the current build of your project to the staging environment.

Step 7: Verification

  • Once the deployment is done, open your browser and go to your staging domain (staging.yourdomain.com).
  • Check that the staging version of your project is running smoothly.
  • Make sure all functionalities work as they should and that the staging data is separate from the production data.
