Environments
An environment in BRAIAN is an isolated workspace with its own credentials, connected systems, policies and audit history. Deployments normally use three: sandbox for development, staging for evaluation against realistic data, and production for governed live work. Definitions are promoted between environments; data is never promoted with them.
The three environments
- Sandbox
- Development workspace with synthetic data and no write access to production systems.
- Staging
- Mirrors production integrations against a controlled dataset; used for evaluation runs before promotion.
- Production
- Live work under active policies, with full audit retention and escalation routing to real roles.
Promotion
Promotion moves a definition version, not its data or credentials. Each environment binds its own connection settings, so the same version behaves consistently while talking to the right systems.

Environments run either in the ÆTERION managed deployment in Switzerland or the EU, or inside the customer's own cloud account. The product is identical in both; only the operating boundary changes.
