Typically, you need several Manager instances to develop, test, and deploy a Maestro form into production. These are often referred to as environments.

Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale, similar to a public utility. infrastructure. Several Manager instances can be installed and run on the same or different environments. Manager can also be run in multi-tenanted environments.
As you develop and enhance Journey Maestro forms and Manager configurations, you promote or migrate them from one environment to another until they are in the production environment. Normally, you implement a form in the development environment, test it in one or several test environments, and finally deploy it to the production environment.
Any Manager instance allows you to migrate forms and organizations from one environment to another. Additionally, you can simulate form migration by using the Manager Form Test Mode feature.
