I'm a bit confused over the different components in outsystem platform. I read in documentation that one platform server is required for each environment (dev, QA, production..etc). What about LifeTime? Do we install LifeTime on a seperate server or it sites on Platform server? And do we need one LifeTime server per environment ?
And platforms servers are not mentioned in the diagrams on this page -> https://success.outsystems.com/Support/Enterprise_Customers/Infrastructure_architecture_and_deployment_options. For example under "Basic edition infrastructure", should there be 3 platform servers (dev, test and production)?
Hi Silva,
Every server that needs to run OutSystems applications needs the Platform to be installed on it. So if you have four production servers, they all need the Platform installed.
In enterprise environments, you typically have a seperate LifeTime server. You have a single LifeTime server to manage all of the environments, as is visible in the diagrams of the page you mentioned.
LifeTime itself also runs as an OutSystems application, so the LifeTime server also is a Platform Server, but one you do not develop on or deploy to. So in the Basic Edition diagram, there's actually four Platform servers.
Hi Kilian,
Thanks for the reply and it clears my confusion with the lifetime server. As for the platform server, do we need 1 for each environment or we need one for each server that runs our generated applications?
Like in diagram https://files.mtstatic.com/site_6602/30218/0?Expires=1636452239&Signature=qZtdffCJPCDh~NzGZ4HNEFwZn2Z3cNj-oen~Lo~bFTEZkOKE5CHGtc~XPI2-ugPZE2NS40gnrxGW2cU4IjzeAy5I~Q9Tftvo3rUfBmMVl2Fheje6va6XuB7N9XxCAbyeBKaoaaa66ZXt7muLIfm1TNgUSE~gMClSOcOagcymbCI_&Key-Pair-Id=APKAJ5Y6AV4GI7A555NA
There are 4 production servers, do we need 1 of them running platform server + application code or we need all 4 to install platform server?
Thanks again for the help.
Thanks Kilian
You're welcome!
