An ephemeral environment is a lightweight, short-lived, fully functional instance of your UAT or production environment. You can use it for testing, validation, and gathering feedback on your product features and bugs.
An ephemeral environment is also known as an βon-demandβ, βpreviewβ, or βdynamicβ environment.
One feature distinguishing an ephemeral environment from other environments is its automatic creation upon a particular event. That event can be the creation of a PR, for example.
In addition to automatic creation, you can create ephemeral environments on-demand based on a particular need, e.g., To test R&D features in an isolated environment. Note that the ephemeral environment works in complete isolation without impacting other development work.
