You can create an on-premises or off-premises development environment as needed to develop and debug applications.
Solutions
Enterprise Distributed Application Service (EDAS) provides three solutions that you can use to create a development environment. The following table describes the three solutions.
Environment | Solution | Description |
---|---|---|
On-premises environment | Configure an on-premises lightweight configuration center to implement service registration and discovery, and locally develop and debug services. | The lightweight configuration center cannot match the performance level of a production environment, and may encounter performance problems when a large number of services are registered. Due to on-premises deployment, the configuration center cannot use EDAS features such as service governance, monitoring, or release. It is a completely on-premises environment. |
Alibaba Cloud | Create an off-premises development environment in which developers can use the on- and off-premises interconnection plug-in to connect off-premises applications and develop and debug them. | All EDAS capabilities can be used. The cost is high when off-premises resources are used. |
Hybrid cloud | Create a development environment in a hybrid cloud in which developers can perform on-premises development and debugging. | All EDAS capabilities can be used. A virtual private network (VPN) or an Express Connect connection is needed to connect the on-premises network to a virtual private cloud (VPC) of Alibaba Cloud. You must activate EDAS Professional Edition or Platinum Edition to use this solution. |
Create an on-premises development environment
- Configure an on-premises lightweight configuration center. For more information, see Start the light-weight configuration registry.
- Locally develop and debug applications.
