Juicebox Multi-Environment Setup

Overview

Juicebox AI analysis requires environment separation to enforce workspace isolation, control data access, and prevent accidental exports of sensitive datasets. Development works with sample datasets and strict result limits for fast iteration, staging connects to full production data but disables export functionality, and production enables all features with full export capabilities. Each environment uses isolated workspaces so analysis experiments in dev never affect production workspace state or user-facing reports.

Environment Configuration

const juiceboxConfig = (env: string) => ({
  development: {
    apiKey: process.env.JB_KEY_DEV!, baseUrl: "https://api.dev.juicebox.work/v1",
    workspaceId: process.env.JB_WORKSPACE_DEV!, resultLimit: 5, exportEnabled: false,
  },
  staging: {
    apiKey: process.env.JB_KEY_STG!, baseUrl: "https://api.staging.juicebox.work/v1",
    workspaceId: process.env.JB_WORKSPACE_STG!, resultLimit: 20, exportEnabled: false,
  },
  production: {
    apiKey: process.env.JB_KEY_PROD!, baseUrl: "https://api.juicebox.work/v1",
    workspaceId: process.env.JB_WORKSPACE_PROD!, resultLimit: 50, exportEnabled: true,
  },
}[env]);

Environment Files

# Per-env files: .env.development, .env.staging, .env.production
JB_KEY_{DEV|STG|PROD}=<api-key>
JB_WORKSPACE_{DEV|STG|PROD}=<workspace-id>
JB_BASE_URL=https://api.{dev.|staging.|""}juicebox.work/v1
JB_EXPORT_ENABLED={false|false|true}
JB_DATASET_SCOPE={sample|full|full}

Environment Validation

function validateJuiceboxEnv(env: string): void {
  const suffix = { development: "_DEV", staging: "_STG", production: "_PROD" }[env];
  const required = [`JB_KEY${suffix}`, `JB_WORKSPACE${suffix}`, "JB_BASE_URL"];
  const missing = required.filter((k) => !process.env[k]);
  if (missing.length) throw new Error(`Missing Juicebox vars for ${env}: ${missing.join(", ")}`);
}

Promotion Workflow

# 1. Run analysis queries against sample data in dev
curl -X POST "$JB_BASE_URL/analyze" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $JB_KEY_DEV" -d @test-query.json

# 2. Validate same queries against full dataset in staging (exports blocked)
curl -X POST "$JB_BASE_URL/analyze" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $JB_KEY_STG" -d @test-query.json | jq '.resultCount'

# 3. Verify workspace isolation — staging results don't appear in prod
curl "$JB_BASE_URL/workspaces/$JB_WORKSPACE_PROD/reports" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $JB_KEY_PROD" | jq 'length'

# 4. Deploy to production with export capabilities enabled
JB_EXPORT_ENABLED=true npm run deploy -- --env production
