Application Instances: Deploy With Confidence Across All Environments

Create perfect parity between development, staging and production without the operational complexity

Wodby's Application Instances empower your team to deploy consistent, isolated copies of your application across any environment. Start with a single stack, then instantly deploy unlimited application instances with environment-specific configurations that meet your exact business needs.

Deploy Anywhere: Total Infrastructure Flexibility

Free yourself from infrastructure constraints with Wodby's flexible deployment options. Deploy production instances on enterprise-grade managed Kubernetes clusters for maximum reliability, while running cost-efficient development and staging environments on lightweight K3S clusters. This flexibility allows you to optimize both performance and costs across your entire application lifecycle while maintaining consistent deployment processes.

Tailor Configurations to Each Environment's Needs

Eliminate environment-related bugs and simplify your deployment strategy with Wodby's intelligent environment configuration system. Each application instance gets precisely the settings it needs based on its environment type, whether that's enhanced security for production, debugging tools for development, or specialized test configurations for your QA team. This smart approach ensures optimal performance and appropriate settings in every context without maintaining separate codebases or deployment processes.

Our flexible environment types adapt to your workflow, with pre-defined options including:

  • Production: Optimized for reliability, performance, and security
  • Development: Configured for rapid iteration and debugging
  • Staging: Mirrors production for final verification before release
  • Testing: Specialized configurations for automated and manual QA
  • Feature: Isolated environments for new feature development and testing

Wodby's comprehensive environment system extends across your entire infrastructure from application instances to Kubernetes clusters and databases ensuring perfect consistency throughout your technology stack.

Eliminate Configuration Sprawl with Centralized Management

Say goodbye to configuration nightmares and version conflicts. All your application configurations are centralized in a versioned stack, giving you complete control over how and when configuration changes roll out to each environment. This approach enables you to:

  • Test configuration changes safely before affecting production
  • Roll back instantly if an update causes issues (coming soon)
  • Track the complete history of your infrastructure evolution
  • Maintain different configurations for different environments

This versioned approach drastically reduces deployment risks while giving your teams the flexibility to manage their own instances without compromising system-wide stability.

Accelerate Your Development Cycle

Transform your release process by enabling true parallel development with isolated application instances. Each developer or team can work in their own dedicated environment with production-like settings, eliminating "works on my machine" issues and drastically reducing integration problems. Combined with CI/CD pipelines, this approach can reduce your time-to-market by eliminating environment-related bottlenecks throughout the development lifecycle.
