Environments

Lucidworks Search clients have access to multiple environments. The number and type of environments depends on your setup and agreement. Usually, you have one production environment and multiple non-production environments, which you can use to try out new features, test configurations, and stage changes before pushing them into production.

​

Types of environments

There are five types of environments that Lucidworks supports. A typical Lucidworks Search client has access to two (development and production) or three (development, stage, and production) environments.

​

Production

This is the environment where production workloads are served. Any changes made are publicly available to end users.

​

Performance

This environment is used for performing load tests against production-equivalent configurations.

​

Stage

This environment is where you can test development changes in a more scalable environment. This is also the environment where work is staged for promotion to the production environment.

​

Quality Assurance

Smaller than stage, this environment is intended for running automated tests.

​

Development

Also known as the sandbox or POC (proof of concept) environment, this is where you can perform application and system development tasks, such as designing, programming, and debugging.

​

Roles and environments

The roles Lucidworks Search clients have depend on the type of environment.
