A staging environment (stage) is a nearly exact replica of a production environment for software testing. Staging environments are made to test codes, builds, and updates to ensure quality under a production-like environment before application deployment.

A staging environment is like a dress rehearsal for a play or a performance.

To prepare for the show’s debut on Broadway, the actors needed to practice individually to learn their lines, rehearse, and then ultimately perform before an audience.

Early on in the prep for the show, after each actor is cast, they begin to develop their individual performances, their lines, the beats of the music, and the staging they can expect. This is where they define what they personally bring to the role.

Each performer will refine and problem-solve their entire performance before it moves on to the next phase of development. The goal is to identify and resolve any issues or problems before the final performance or release.

A staging environment is a testing sandbox, or a close replica of a live production environment, where developers can freely test their code.

Staging Environment

A server is a computer program or device that provides a service to another computer program and its user, also known as the client.

A server is like an apartment building. It is the infrastructure that allows the apartment to exist. The building provides lighting, gas, electricity and occupancy space to each apartment.

If everyone who lives in the apartment building tries to enter the front doors at the same time, the apartment building may not be able to handle that as well as another building with larger doors. If each apartment is over maximum occupancy, the apartment building may not properly serve its people.

So, as the building owner, you either need to improve the building infrastructure to accommodate the quantity of people or you buy a new building to serve more residents.

As the building owner, you need to know the limitations as to what your apartment building can serve.

Servers are the physical computers that allow your websites to live on the internet. When something lives on the cloud, that just means that it is not on a local or private server and instead is on a server that is shared by numerous others.
