If you like Recipe lifecycle management (RLCM), we think you'll love Environments.

Built on the same principles as RLCM, Environments offers a seamless deployment experience across unified workspaces. Check it out!

Organizations typically plan, test, and deploy new integrations with a recipe development lifecycle. This may involve moving recipes from a development environment to a testing environment, or from a testing environment to a production/deployment environment.

Recipe lifecycle management (RLCM) is one of the features that enables teams to collaborate concurrently in a planned and controlled recipe development effort. This tool allows the export and import of packages which contain recipes and their dependencies (lookup tables, message templates etc.). This allows teams to maintain their integration recipes across their different teams' environments.

# Packages

Users can export and import their recipes as packages. Here's a list of assets that can be exported in a package:

Recipes in a chosen folder
Sub-folders and recipes in those sub-folders
Associated connections
Associated custom connectors (SDK connectors)
Associated recipe functions or callable recipes (deprecated)
Associated lookup tables
Associated shared schemas
Associated message templates
Associated environment properties

The import and export of packages are useful when teams are collaborating across different Workato accounts, for example, if the development team wishes to move recipes over to the QA team's Workato account, or to the production Workato account. Consultants can also utilize this feature to move comprehensive integrations into their clients' accounts.

The Recipe lifecycle management feature is enabled only for certain Workato users. Reach out to your Customer Success Manager to learn more.

For Workato accounts with the Recipe lifecycle management feature enabled, users will be able to see the option when they select Tools > Recipe Lifecycle Management.
