In this video, we continue the tutorials on the Jets Ruby Serverless Framework that adds Ruby support to AWS Lambda. We talk about the difference between Jets extra vs different environments. Different environments refer to development, staging, uat, production environments. Extra environments refer to instances of each of those environments. For example, development-1, development-2, development-3, etc.

• Extra environments are controlled with the environment variable JETS_ENV_EXTRA
• Different environments are controlled with the environment variable JETS_ENV

Summary of What We’ll Cover

• Explain JETS_ENV
• Provide a demo

Cleanup

To delete the newly created production environment:

JETS_ENV=production jets delete

Note, you’ll be prompted with an ‘Are you sure?’ message.
