Guidewire Multi Env Setup

Guidewire Multi-Environment Setup

Overview

Configure and manage multiple Guidewire InsuranceSuite environments with proper isolation, configuration management, and promotion workflows.

Prerequisites

• Guidewire Cloud Console access for all environments
• Understanding of environment promotion workflows
• Git-based configuration management
• CI/CD pipeline infrastructure

Instructions

Step 1: Environment Configuration Structure

config/environments/
├── base/          # Shared configuration
├── dev/           # Dev overrides + encrypted secrets
├── qa/            # QA overrides + encrypted secrets
├── uat/           # UAT overrides + encrypted secrets
└── prod/          # Prod overrides + encrypted secrets

Step 2: Environment-Specific Properties

Each environment overrides base properties for tenant ID, Hub URL, API base URL, logging levels, feature flags, and integration endpoints. Dev uses mocked integrations; prod uses real endpoints.

Step 3: Gradle Multi-Environment Build

Configure build.gradle to load properties based on -Penv= flag. Base properties load first, then environment-specific ones override.

Step 4: Environment Manager

Build a TypeScript EnvironmentManager that resolves config by environment name, provides feature flags, and constructs environment-aware API clients with correct credentials.

Step 5: Secrets Management

Use cloud secret managers (GCP Secret Manager, AWS Secrets Manager) to store per-environment credentials. Implement secret rotation without downtime.

Step 6: Environment Promotion Workflow

Enforce promotion paths: DEV -> QA -> UAT -> PROD. Require change tickets for production. Run pre-promotion health checks and post-promotion smoke tests.
