Projects and environments

GenSX organizes your workflows and deployments using a flexible structure of projects and environments, making it easy to match the rest of your application architecture and CI/CD topology. Projects are a top level resource and environments are instances of a project that you deploy to.

Project structure

A project in GenSX is a collection of related workflows that are deployed, managed, and monitored together:

Projects as logical units: Group related workflows that serve a common purpose
Shared configuration: Apply settings across all workflows in a project
Collective deployment: Deploy all workflows within a project in one operation
Unified monitoring: View traces and metrics for an entire project

Projects typically correspond to a codebase or application that contains multiple workflows.

Environment separation

Within each project, you can have multiple environments. For example, you could create three environments for each project:

Development: For building and testing new features
Staging: For pre-production validation
Production: For live, user-facing workflows

You have full control over your environments so you can organize them however you see fit.

Each environment maintains separate:

Workflow deployments
Configuration and environment variables
Execution traces and monitoring data

Configuring projects

Project configuration file

Projects are defined using a gensx.yaml file at the root of your codebase:


# gensx.yaml
projectName: customer-support-bot
description: AI assistant for customer support

This configuration applies to both local development and cloud deployments.

Working with environments

Deploying to different environments

Deploy your workflows to specific environments using the CLI:


# Deploy to the default environment
gensx deploy src/workflows.tsx
 
# Deploy to a staging environment
gensx deploy src/workflows.tsx --env staging
 
# Deploy to production
gensx deploy src/workflows.tsx --env production

Environment-specific configuration

Set environment-specific variables during deployment:


# Development-specific settings
gensx deploy src/workflows.tsx --env development \
  -ev LOG_LEVEL=debug \
  -ev OPENAI_API_KEY
 
# Production-specific settings
gensx deploy src/workflows.tsx --env production \
  -ev LOG_LEVEL=error \
  -ev OPENAI_API_KEY
