Staging or Production Instance?

Question

Is there anywhere in the service runtime that would tell me if I\'m currently running on \'Staging\' or \'Production\'? Manually modifying the config to and from production

Answer 1

An easy way to solve this problem is setting at your instances an key to identify which environment it is running.

1) Set at your production slot: Set it Settings >> Application settings >> App settings And create a key named SLOT_NAME and value "production". IMPORTANT: check Slot setting.

2) Set at your staging slot: Set it Settings >> Application settings >> App settings And create a key named SLOT_NAME and value "staging". IMPORTANT: check Slot setting.

Access from your application the variable and identify which environment the application is running. In Java you can access:

String slotName = System.getenv("APPSETTING_SLOT_NAME");
