What’s a development environment?

RC services
1

A development environment is where developers integrate and test their work.

Overview

RC offers two environments for each app: development and production. These environments are data-isolated to keep test and production data separate. Each has its own App Key (icon 3). When you create an app in the RC backend (icon 1), it defaults to the development environment (icon 2).

Notes

  • Each app has a unique App Key/Secret for both development and production environments. Always match the App Key with its correct Secret—don’t mix them.
  • Switch to the production environment when your app is nearly ready (go online process and notes).
  • The development environment supports up to 100 registered users, but its features are nearly identical to the production environment.
