Kuzzle — Dev vs Prod Indexes

Every Kuzzle subscription includes separate production and development indexes.

Naming

Prefix comes from checkout or the module default. Names are lowercased and sanitized to alphanumeric, _, and -.

When to use dev

• Testing new mappings or collections
• Staging server (projectz-dev, local FXServer, etc.)
• Experimenting with scripts without affecting live player data

When to use prod

• Live game server players connect here
• TMC Config.Server.Kuzzle.Index should match production unless you intentionally run a staging environment

Data isolation

Dev and prod do not share data. Changes in dev must be promoted manually (export/import or scripted migration) — plan schema changes accordingly.

Typical workflow

1. Point staging FiveM server at dev index
2. Validate features and mappings
3. Apply mapping updates to prod (coordinate with support if template mappings change)
4. Point live server at prod index only after testing

Credentials

Welcome email lists both index names. Server API keys are for backend use; ensure staging and live servers use the correct index and keys for their environment.
