Relationship between kubernetes namespaces and humalect's environment​

Humalect enviornments use kubernetes namespaces under the hood. All your resources like deployments and datasources are created within a particular namespace that is linked to a specific environment. This allows for complete isolation without replicating additional infrastrcuture costs.

Best practices for environment management​

  1. Always create separate environments for yourdev, staging and production workloads.
  2. Start every change from dev environment and move towards higher environments.
  3. Follow a proper testing and code quality methodology.
