@TrendiMike That is a question that I also am looking to solve right now.

Two things:

1. WeWeb now shows a variable for whether or not the site is in edit or production mode. This is one way to set up your dev ops.

2. Take a look at this post below:

Testing environment and production

Hello, I am getting ready to publish our site soon. I need to think through how to set up a testing environment. What is the best practice for this on the WeWeb side? I’ve thought about creating a variable called “is_test_enviornment”. Then, inside all of our API endpoints for CRUD, set them if/then based on that variable. I could then work on the site with the is_test_enviornment set to true, then change it to false, then publish. Any thoughts/best practices here? Thank you.

I haven’t made it this far in my development yet as I’m getting ready to launch my project… but I’ve thought about setting up a second project, using that to test, and then possibly copying the project and publishing once work is done on it. I do have some concerns about it, but I think it can be solved with a little bit of work, and over time I think WeWeb will to develop an out of the box solution for this.
