Environments
Understand how staging and production work for publishing.
Environments
During onboarding, Cofounder sets up staging and production for the managed app stack.
Staging is where changes get reviewed and tested before they go live. Production is what powers the live app.
Staging And Production
For the app:
- GitHub uses
mainfor staging work andprodfor production - Vercel has a staging environment and a production deployment
- Supabase has a staging backend and a production backend
For marketing:
- GitHub uses
mainfor staging work andprodfor production - Vercel has a staging environment and a production deployment
How They Link Together
For app publishing:
- code changes live on
main - Vercel uses the staging setup for review
- the app can run against the staging Supabase backend
After publish:
- the code is on
prod - Vercel serves the live production app
- the live app continues running against the production Supabase backend
Marketing publishing follows the same GitHub and Vercel flow, without the managed Supabase backend.
