Infrastructure For You

4U has invested heavily in modernizing our infrastructure, moving entirely to containerized environments, and adopting technologies like terraform to implement a comprehensive Infrastructure As Code approach. This investment allows us to reproducibly and reliably provision complete application stacks on an on-demand basis.

We've also been working hard to put in place data pipelines that allow us to replicate production quality data but without any PII or other personal data that would prohibit its use in non-production environments.

What does this mean for you? It means we provide you with a complete and fully functional integration environment that is isolated and dedicated for use by your team. It will have the same basic data set as your production environment and can be rebuilt from scratch as requested.

There is zero risk of, for example, accidentally sending emails or approval requests to any of your partners!

We've planned for the future and our infrastructure is ready to support whatever your level of integration ambitions might be!

Sandbox Logistics

As part of onboarding your access, you'll be given:

  1. Your very own 4U Platform:

    1. UI https://www.<your-company>.stage.4uplatform.com

    2. OpenAPI Swagger documentation: https://docs.<your-company>.stage.4uplatform.com

  2. Authorization details for API access

    1. Authorization Url

    2. ClientId

    3. Secret

  3. A 4U Sandbox "company admin" user account

Whoever you choose to be your "sandbox admin" can then create additional users (including more admins) for other team members that need access. Remember, this is a completely isolated and protected non-production environment.
