Test Updates, Content Edits, and Design Changes in a Safe Place with Our New Staging Feature

Rapyd has launched its first version of a staging feature, enabling developers to test site edits before making them on your live site.

What’s New

The staging feature allows creation of a dedicated staging site to safely test any site updates before implementing changes on the production environment.

How It Works

Creating a Staging Site

• Access the dashboard and click the Production tab dropdown
• Select Create staging option
• Build process takes approximately 10 minutes
• Once built, test edits and updates before deploying to live site

Staging Site Specifications

• Same specs as Developer plan: 1 vCPU, 2GB RAM, 18 PHP workers
• Disk space matches the production site plan (e.g., 150GB for Performance plan)

Current Limitations

• Cannot pull from production to staging with one click
• To refresh staging, delete the site and rebuild following the creation process
• Quick rebuild tool coming soon to replace manual process
• Custom domains not supported on staging sites
• Staging sites lack dedicated IP addresses
