On-prem hybrid setup

There are cases when connecting cloud hosted guide data and evergreen extensions with your production environment is restricted, not possible or desired.

Examples:

• Air-gapped production (e.g. top secure defence install without internet)

• Company Policy

• Quality assurance process requirements (DEV → QA → UAT → PROD)

• Compliance (FDA or regulatory require extensive testing

  with all software versions

  and control)

• Security (Evergreen external extension hosting prevents validation

  of

  and control for each version

• )

The solution is on-prem hosting of both web extension (browser plugin client) and data. The cloud solution is still used to record the guides . Guide recording is done on a lower security environment e.g. dev(on dev or similar env without restrictions). The guide data and web extension is then are exported for self hosting. Guides are exported in JSON data format and the web extension in using self hosting (.crx).

This setup enable full control and with fixed offline package still avoiding complex full stack setup , and system ownership (hosting and related effort).
