Multi Enviorment

Nected natively provides two runtime environments: Staging and Production. Git-based Source Control extends this model by allowing teams to maintain and manage any number of development environments using Git branches.

With this combined approach:

  • Git branches represent development environments

  • Nected Staging represents the testing environment for those branches

  • Nected Production represents the live execution environment once branches are merged

This lets teams work on multiple features, QA cycles, experiments, and releases in parallel—each isolated within its own Git branch.

How Git Branches Become Separate Environments

Each branch in your Git repository acts as its own “environment” during development. For example:

  • dev/payment-service → Payment team’s development environment

  • qa/rule-updates → QA testing environment

  • uat/feature-x → UAT environment for business reviewers

  • release-candidate → Pre-production environment

When you switch to a branch inside Nected:

  • All Rules, Workflows, Datasets, and Variables load from that branch

  • All changes you make belong only to that branch

  • You can test them in Nected Staging without affecting other branches or Production

  • Merging the branch in GitHub promotes those changes toward Production

Git branches allow unlimited environment parallelism; Staging/Production allow runtime isolation.

Learn more about Branches

Typical setup using Git branches could be look like this:

Environment Type
Purpose
Example Branch Names

Feature Environments

Independent development for new functionality; isolated experimentation

feature/discount-rule

feature/new-eligibility-check

QA Environments

Regression, performance, and functional testing by QA teams

qa/regression-suite

UAT Environments

User acceptance testing by product/business teams before approval

uat/invoice-logic

Release Environments

Preparing release candidates, stabilizing logic before production merge

release/2025-q1

Production

Live production branch used for real execution and published logic

main / master

Each of these branches is a separate environment inside Nected until merged.
