- Teams that use ephemeral environments to test features tend to ship faster, test more often, review more thoroughly, and trust their deployments more.
- Ephemeral environments are at the sweet spot between cost efficiency and production parity.
- Ephemeral environments are entirely isolated from the rest of the infrastructure, full-stack, and near-production copies of the application.
- Ephemeral environments are GitOps-enabled, short-lived, and automate the repetitive tasks required.
- Ephemeral environment automate the testing workflow, enabling more developers to work more efficiently and review asynchronously.
- Ephemeral environments have a positive ripple effect on DORA and DevEx metrics, which help teams benchmark their performance and improve the quality of their processes.
- Ephemeral environments have a massive ROI relative to their cost and effort and benefit engineering processes in nearly every possible way.
- Ephemeral environments are cost-effective, promote collaboration, improve developer QoL, and enable teams to ship faster.
