Environments

What is an Environment in Atmosly

An Environment allows you to group a set of services having a specific version, usually based on a branch of your repository. For example, you can have one Production environment (all the services pointing to the main branch), one Staging environment (all services pointing to the staging branch), etc. You run your application on an environment.
