Juicebox Multi-Environment Setup

Juicebox Multi-Environment Setup

Overview

Configure Juicebox across development, staging, and production environments with proper isolation and security.

Prerequisites

• Separate Juicebox accounts or API keys per environment
• Secret management solution (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, etc.)
• CI/​CD pipeline with environment variables
• Environment detection in application

Environment Strategy

Instructions

Step 1: Environment Configuration

// config/​environments.ts
interface JuiceboxEnvConfig {
  apiKey: string;
  baseUrl: string;
  timeout: number;
  retries: number;
  sandbox: boolean;
}

const configs: Record<string, JuiceboxEnvConfig> = {
  development: {
    apiKey: process.env.JUICEBOX_API_KEY_DEV!,
    baseUrl: 'https://sandbox.api.juicebox.ai',
    timeout: 30000,
    retries: 1,
    sandbox: true
  },
  staging: {
    apiKey: process.env.JUICEBOX_API_KEY_STAGING!,
    baseUrl: 'https://api.juicebox.ai',
    timeout: 30000,
    retries: 2,
    sandbox: false
  },
  production: {
    apiKey: process.env.JUICEBOX_API_KEY_PROD!,
    baseUrl: 'https://api.juicebox.ai',
    timeout: 60000,
    retries: 3,
    sandbox: false
  }
};

export function getConfig(): JuiceboxEnvConfig {
  const env = process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development';
  const config = configs[env];

  if (!config) {
    throw new Error(`Unknown environment: ${env}`);
  }

  if (!config.apiKey) {
    throw new Error(`JUICEBOX_API_KEY not set for ${env}`);
  }

  return config;
}

Step 2: Secret Management by Environment

// lib/​secrets.ts
import { SecretsManager } from '@aws-sdk/​client-secrets-manager';

const secretPaths: Record<string, string> = {
  development: 'juicebox/​dev/​api-key',
  staging: 'juicebox/​staging/​api-key',
  production: 'juicebox/​prod/​api-key'
};

export async function getApiKey(): Promise<string> {
  const env = process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development';

  // In development, allow env var fallback
  if (env === 'development' && process.env.JUICEBOX_API_KEY_DEV) {
    return process.env.JUICEBOX_API_KEY_DEV;
  }

  // Production environments must use secret manager
  const client = new SecretsManager({ region: process.env.AWS_REGION });
  const result = await client.getSecretValue({
    SecretId: secretPaths[env]
  });

  return JSON.parse(result.SecretString!).apiKey;
}

Step 3: Environment-Aware Client Factory

// lib/​client-factory.ts
import { JuiceboxClient } from '@juicebox/​sdk';
import { getConfig } from '../​config/​environments';
import { getApiKey } from './​secrets';

let clientInstance: JuiceboxClient | null = null;

export async function getJuiceboxClient(): Promise<JuiceboxClient> {
  if (clientInstance) return clientInstance;

  const config = getConfig();
  const apiKey = await getApiKey();

  clientInstance = new JuiceboxClient({
    apiKey,
    baseUrl: config.baseUrl,
    timeout: config.timeout,
    retries: config.retries
  });

  // Add environment-specific middleware
  if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
    clientInstance.use(logRequestsMiddleware);
  }

  return clientInstance;
}

Step 4: Kubernetes ConfigMaps

# k8s/​base/​configmap.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: juicebox-config
data:
  JUICEBOX_TIMEOUT: "30000"
  JUICEBOX_RETRIES: "3"

---
# k8s/​overlays/​development/​configmap.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: juicebox-config
data:
  JUICEBOX_BASE_URL: "https://sandbox.api.juicebox.ai"
  JUICEBOX_SANDBOX: "true"

---
# k8s/​overlays/​staging/​configmap.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: juicebox-config
data:
  JUICEBOX_BASE_URL: "https://api.juicebox.ai"
  JUICEBOX_SANDBOX: "false"

---
# k8s/​overlays/​production/​configmap.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: juicebox-config
data:
  JUICEBOX_BASE_URL: "https://api.juicebox.ai"
  JUICEBOX_SANDBOX: "false"
  JUICEBOX_TIMEOUT: "60000"

Step 5: Environment Guards

// lib/​environment-guards.ts
export function requireProduction(): void {
  if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
    throw new Error('This operation is only allowed in production');
  }
}

export function preventProduction(): void {
  if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
    throw new Error('This operation is not allowed in production');
  }
}

// Usage
async function resetTestData(): Promise<void> {
  preventProduction();
  await db.profiles.deleteMany({});
}

async function sendBulkOutreach(): Promise<void> {
  requireProduction();
  // ... production-only logic
}
