Linkup

Create a Preview Environment

Prerequisites

  • Linkup deployed to a Cloudflare Domain

What is a Preview Environment?

linkup start is designed to:

  • work with services that you run locally (on localhost)
  • run with a tunnel that makes your local service available on the internet
  • only be used by one engineer (not available when dev laptop is off)

A preview environment on the other hand:

  • consists only of services deployed to the internet (eg. my-deploy-pr-123.previewinfra.com)
  • has no tunnels or tunneling infrastructure to localhost
  • always online / works as long as the underlying services do
