​
Overview

Stigg supports the creation of multiple environments in each account in order to support your existing product development process, for example: Development, Staging, Production, etc. Every environment is isolated from one another.

​
Environment types

Stigg supports 2 environment types:
  1. Non-production - an isolated sandbox that can be used for testing and iterating on pricing and packaging without affecting your real customers
  2. Production - a live environment where your real customers interact with the final, stable version of your product
The following table summarizes the main difference between each environment type:

By default, when a Stigg account is created it includes 2 environment - development (non-production) and a production environment

​
API keys

Programmatic access to Stigg environments is achieved using API keys. By default, Stigg automatically generates API keys upon the creation of an environment:
  1. Server API key - intended to be used in the backend using the Stigg API or backend SDKs
  2. Client API key - intended to be used in the frontend using the Stigg frontend SDKs
The environment’s API keys can be copied from the Stigg app under the table that appears in the Settings > Account > Environments section:

​
Creating a new environment

To create a new environment, navigate to the Settings > Environment section. Click on ”+ Add”. Enter the following information:
  1. Environment name
  2. Color which will be used to distinguish different environments from one another
  3. Description (optional)
  4. Environment type - production, non-production
After an environment is created, its environment type (non-production / production) can’t be modified.
When a new environment is created, a default product for that environment will be automatically created.The product name will be the same name as the account name, for example: if your account name is “Acme”, an “Acme” product will automatically be created in every newly created environment.You can edit the name of the default product, or even remove it altogether and create a new one.

​
Enforcing client-side security

When your client-side (frontend) application is integrated with Stigg it uses the Client API key, which is publicly accessible to anyone. While the Stigg platform limits access for that API key to a minimum, some sensitive data may still be accessible by a malicious actor (e.g. by guessing customer ID). To ease the integration process, Stigg doesn’t enforce client-side security in newly created environments. It’s highly recommended to prevent any un-authenticated access to data using Client API key, by configuring Stigg to verify the identity of requests that originate from your client-side application.
