What Is Sandbox Environment?
An isolated, request-level development environment for testing changes in production-like conditions without affecting live systems.
Definition
An isolated, request-level development environment for testing changes in production-like conditions without affecting live systems.
Sandboxes are ephemeral by nature, spun up per pull request or feature branch, and provide developers with full-stack isolation including databases, APIs, and services to validate changes safely before merging.
Where This Fits
This term is covered in depth on Sandbox Environments for CDEs.
Sandbox environments use request-level isolation to test changes in production-like conditions, duplicating only the services you actually changed.
