|
Devnet:
|
|
|
|
- continuous development for active version
|
|
|
|
- can be reset
|
|
|
|
- should be against a branch named with the version being developed (example: 10.2.3)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nextnet:
|
|
|
|
- for parallel version development
|
|
|
|
- oftentimes, the next major version while development has bugfixes
|
|
|
|
- should be against a branch named with the version being developed (example: 10.3.1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
QAnet:
|
|
|
|
- once development is complete, each component is tagged with an rc (example: 10.2.3-rc1) and the new version to be tested is deployed on QAnet
|
|
|
|
- this net is for INTERNAL QA
|
|
|
|
- Here, we expect most bugs to be reported
|
|
|
|
- Once QA signs off, it moves to testnet
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Testnet:
|
|
|
|
- tag as beta release (example: 10.2.3-rc3-beta)
|
|
|
|
- This is for the community and stability testing
|
|
|
|
- should be almost completely stable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mainnet:
|
|
|
|
- if testnet has no blockers for 2 weeks, community votes to move to mainnet
|
|
|
|
- everything is merged to main
|
|
|
|
- final release is tagged (example: 10.2.3)

## GOAL:
|
|
|
|
moving away from that model to be able to use ephermal environments instead of maintaining such environments, but now they're available for simplicity
