Testing the environment chain

This post was authored as a migration bundle and applied through the environment chain: test first, then staging.

Why a migration and not an admin edit?

Content created by hand on one environment has to be recreated by hand on the next, and nothing records where it has or has not landed. A migration bundle carries the content once, applies it identically to each environment in order, and the manifest ledger records every apply.

The chain

  • test — the local site, where Neil reviews
  • staging — where the client reviews
  • live — where visitors land

If you are reading this on the test site, the first step of the chain worked.
