Hi! If we have servers for different environments (dev, test, staging and production), do we need to have four paid Essentials subscriptions? Or can we somehow handle all but production server with free Developer plan?
h
It depends a bit what you need! I would suggest two production projects (stage, prod) and the other ones free. We’re also going to improve this in the future and make subscription on an org level, but it’s a bit of way to go

We are building a progressive web app with React frontend and Node backend (docker containers in virtual server). Test server is meant for internal testing for not so technical people. Custom domains come only with paid plan and that’s why I have thought that if we want to have a PWA up and running for testing we need to have Essentials plan for each server. But is there some way around?
So what do you mean exactly by what we need? :) @high-optician-2097

Yeah that was the context I was missing :)
If your test domains run all on the same TLD you can get away with two projects at the moment. You could also host/run the ory tunnel for test/staging
r
Yes, all servers are under same top level domain as subdomains.
I have failed to understand and/or find documentation how it can be implemented, though 🙂 If we can run on free plans dev and test is there particular reason why not also staging? Just to make it similar environment as prod?
h
yeah exactly, for example to have edge sessions
r
Dev and test would have tunnels with ory-cli like in local development?
h
yeah, for example. we’ll definitely need to add guides for this @magnificent-energy-493
