API Sandbox
The API Sandbox is Zuora's "release preview" environment. It is a customer facing, multi-tenant environment that gets code deployed before Zuora's production environment. How early code gets deployed depends on the type of release: Major releases are usually deployed a week in advance, whereas minor releases and emergency patches get deployed days, hours or minutes before production. Zuora customers can purchase any number of tenants in this environment for a recurring annual fee.
API Sandbox is co-located in the same data center as the production environment, running on bare metal, but on a smaller footprint, offering less capacity.
The main use cases for API Sandbox include the following:
- Basic implementation configuration and integrations
- Training
- Integration testing
- Regression testing
- Release preview testing
