Hello!

We had only production environment. We have duplicated production environment and made it as staging.

Everything looks good but we are not sure about database since ENV variables uses same DATABASE_URL.

We saw staged changes after duplicate and we haven't reviewed/deployed staged changes yet since we worry if it affects to production database.

Does duplicating environment create the new database or how can we setup a new database for staging?

Thank you!

It creates a new database.

Everything looks good but we are not sure about database since ENV variables uses same DATABASE_URL.

This happens because you're hardcoding your connection string in your production environment. When we create a new environment, we copy the values of your service variables over.

You'll want to switch to using Reference Variables instead of hardcoding it.
