Staging environments and deployment pipelines. Why have a staging environment? A staging environment mimics the environment our users interact with as closely as possible, so that we can verify changes and catch issues that may not occur on a local developer environment before promoting changes to production. When we have a focused set of automated tests in place, incorporating a staging environment into our deployment pipeline can protect against losing availability due to breaking changes.
