Limitations for DEV Instance

[Naga jyothi sri]

Hi All,

We are a small organization. We have only Dev Instance as of now.

My Question is what will be the limitations/ restrictions will we have if we don't have UAT and PROD Instance.

Can anyone clear me on this.

Thanks,

Jyothi

Hi @Naga jyothi sri 

As you mentioned, your organization don't have UAT & PROD instance...not sure what your exact query ...!!

But, doesn't matter your organization is small or big , it should have at-least three environment. 

1.Development environment

2.Test Environment

3.Production Environment

HI @Naga jyothi sri ,
I trust you are doing great.
As per my knowledge you can face this challanges.

• Testing Limitations

  • Lack of User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
  • Limited performance testing

• Deployment Risks

  • Direct deployments to Production
  • Difficulties in rolling back changes

• Environment Integrity

  • Risk of contaminating development data
  • Configuration inconsistencies

• Development Workflow

  • Challenges in implementing Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)
  • Complicated version control

• Best Practices and Compliance

  • Limited enforcement of governance policies
  • Difficulties in auditing changes

• Code and Configuration Management

  • Risk of overwriting and losing work
  • Lack of isolation for changes and features

Hi @Naga jyothi sri ,

I agree with @Vishal Birajdar . You should at least have dev, test and prod due to that all new development/enhacements should be on dev. Moved to test when ready for test, and move to prod when ready for production.

A single dev instance doesn't make any sense.

If my answer has helped with your question, please mark my answer as accepted solution and give a thumb up.
