If Atlassian products are critical systems, we recommend this 3-tier strategy for development, staging, and production.


We offer these recommendations in this section not to supplant or change those company-wide strategies, but rather to help illustrate what some of the considerations will be with Atlassian products in staging environments. Often systems administration teams will have an established architecture for enterprise applications, including staging environments and failover setups. There are risks associated with connecting to production instances that require attention, which are called out in the document.
