For teams building and operating public SaaS products, managing multiple environments—such as test, staging, and production—alongside regional deployments (e.g., us-east, eu-central) can be challenging to scale and maintain. LocalOps simplifies this with a unified workflow to provision, manage, and automate these environments using GitOps principles and pre-secured defaults.

​
Typical Setup

A standard public SaaS setup on LocalOps includes:
  • Test: Used for developer testing and quick validation.
  • Staging: Mirrors production for final validation before release.
  • Production: Live environment for customer traffic.
  • Regional Variants: e.g., prod-us, prod-eu, each isolated to comply with local data regulations.
All environments can be spun up in minutes. Each environment is provisioned in your own cloud account, with built-in Monitoring stack, auto-scaling, security hardening, and Git-based deployments configured out of the box.

​
How LocalOps Helps

LocalOps provides a unified workflow to provision, manage, and automate SaaS environments across clouds:
  • Standardized environments: Define your infrastructure once and reuse it across test, staging, production, and regional variants.
  • Security best practices: Each environment is provisioned with hardened defaults, reducing the risk of misconfigurations.
  • GitOps-compatible: Services are deployed and updated through version-controlled workflows, ensuring consistency and auditability.
  • Region-aware provisioning: Spin up environments in any AWS, GCP, or Azure region with the same configuration and policies.
  • Auto-healing and scaling: Environments self-manage with auto-scaling and self-healing built in—no manual intervention needed.
  • Full-stack observability: Every environment comes with built-in monitoring, logging, and alerting out of the box.

​
Connect your cloud account

Connect your cloud account to LocalOps to provision environments in your own infrastructure. Refer to Connect cloud account guide

​
Spin up environments

Create separate environments for each stage — test, staging, and production. For regional variants, create additional environments such as prod-us or prod-eu. To spin up a new environment, refer to this guide — Create environment

​
Deploy services

For each service in your software, create a service and deploy it in the environment.
  1. To create a new service, refer to Create service guide
  2. To make deployments on the service, refer to Deploy service guide
  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each service in your app — app, workers, web, etc.

​
Test the setup

After adding all services, test them using the app URL. One of your services will be the main entry point of your app. Use its public URL to test the functionality.
