Environments
The following environments will be built.
- Development
- All new enhancements will be added to the development environment
- Testing
- Completed features will be deployed to the test environment
- A series of test scripts and procedures will be developed to be performed following each new deployment
- Production
- Once a release has passed all tests, it will be deployed to production
CI/CD Pipeline
This procedure will allow multiple developers to author and commit code. Automated procedures will move releases from Dev to Test, and then to Production.
Email and Productivity Suite
We will use Google G-Suite. Each account will be about $8 per month until the nonprofit has been formed and we can apply for a grant from Google for free accounts.
