MaintainX Multi-Environment Setup Skill

MaintainX Multi-Environment Setup

Overview

Configure and manage multiple MaintainX environments for development, staging, and production with proper secret management and client isolation.

Prerequisites

Separate MaintainX accounts or organizations for each environment
Secret management solution (environment variables, GCP Secret Manager, or AWS SSM)
Node.js 18+

Instructions

Step 1: Environment Configuration

// src/config/environments.ts

interface MaintainXEnvConfig {
  apiKey: string;
  orgId?: string;
  baseUrl: string;
  label: string;
  rateLimit: { requestsPerSecond: number };
}

type Environment = 'development' | 'staging' | 'production';

function getConfig(env: Environment): MaintainXEnvConfig {
  const configs: Record<Environment, () => MaintainXEnvConfig> = {
    development: () => ({
      apiKey: process.env.MAINTAINX_API_KEY_DEV!,
      orgId: process.env.MAINTAINX_ORG_ID_DEV,
      baseUrl: 'https://api.getmaintainx.com/v1',
      label: 'Development',
      rateLimit: { requestsPerSecond: 5 },
    }),
    staging: () => ({
      apiKey: process.env.MAINTAINX_API_KEY_STAGING!,
      orgId: process.env.MAINTAINX_ORG_ID_STAGING,
      baseUrl: 'https://api.getmaintainx.com/v1',
      label: 'Staging',
      rateLimit: { requestsPerSecond: 10 },
    }),
    production: () => ({
      apiKey: process.env.MAINTAINX_API_KEY_PROD!,
      orgId: process.env.MAINTAINX_ORG_ID_PROD,
      baseUrl: 'https://api.getmaintainx.com/v1',
      label: 'Production',
      rateLimit: { requestsPerSecond: 20 },
    }),
  };

  const config = configs[env]();
  if (!config.apiKey) {
    throw new Error(`Missing API key for ${env} environment`);
  }
  return config;
}

export const currentEnv = (process.env.MAINTAINX_ENV || 'development') as Environment;
export const config = getConfig(currentEnv);

Step 2: Client Factory

// src/client-factory.ts
import { MaintainXClient } from './client';

const clients = new Map<string, MaintainXClient>();

export function getClient(env?: Environment): MaintainXClient {
  const targetEnv = env || currentEnv;
  if (!clients.has(targetEnv)) {
    const cfg = getConfig(targetEnv);
    clients.set(targetEnv, new MaintainXClient(cfg.apiKey, cfg.orgId));
  }
  return clients.get(targetEnv)!;
}

// Usage
const devClient = getClient('development');
const prodClient = getClient('production');

Step 3: Environment Files

# .env.development
MAINTAINX_ENV=development
MAINTAINX_API_KEY_DEV=dev-key-here
MAINTAINX_ORG_ID_DEV=org-dev-123

# .env.staging
MAINTAINX_ENV=staging
MAINTAINX_API_KEY_STAGING=staging-key-here
MAINTAINX_ORG_ID_STAGING=org-staging-456

# .env.production
MAINTAINX_ENV=production
MAINTAINX_API_KEY_PROD=prod-key-here
MAINTAINX_ORG_ID_PROD=org-prod-789

# .gitignore — never commit real keys
.env
.env.development
.env.staging
.env.production

Step 4: GCP Secret Manager Integration

// src/config/secrets.ts
import { SecretManagerServiceClient } from '@google-cloud/secret-manager';

const secretClient = new SecretManagerServiceClient();

async function getSecret(name: string): Promise<string> {
  const [version] = await secretClient.accessSecretVersion({
    name: `projects/your-project/secrets/${name}/versions/latest`,
  });
  return version.payload!.data!.toString();
}

async function loadProductionConfig(): Promise<MaintainXEnvConfig> {
  return {
    apiKey: await getSecret('maintainx-api-key-prod'),
    orgId: await getSecret('maintainx-org-id-prod'),
    baseUrl: 'https://api.getmaintainx.com/v1',
    label: 'Production',
    rateLimit: { requestsPerSecond: 20 },
  };
}

Step 5: Validation Script

// scripts/validate-environments.ts
import 'dotenv/config';

const envs: Environment[] = ['development', 'staging', 'production'];

async function validateAll() {
  for (const env of envs) {
    try {
      const cfg = getConfig(env);
      const client = new MaintainXClient(cfg.apiKey, cfg.orgId);
      const { data } = await client.getUsers({ limit: 1 });
      console.log(`${cfg.label}: OK (${data.users.length} user(s) found)`);
    } catch (err: any) {
      console.error(`${env}: FAILED - ${err.message}`);
    }
  }
}

validateAll();

# Run validation
npx tsx scripts/validate-environments.ts
# Development: OK (1 user(s) found)
# Staging: OK (1 user(s) found)
# Production: OK (1 user(s) found)

Output

Environment-specific configuration with type-safe config loader
Client factory producing isolated clients per environment
.env.* files with .gitignore protection
GCP Secret Manager integration for production secrets
Validation script to verify all environment credentials

Error Handling

| Issue | Cause | Solution | |-------|-------|----------| | Missing API key | Environment variable not set | Check .env.* file for target environment | | Wrong environment data | Using prod key in dev | Verify MAINTAINX_ENV is set correctly | | Secret Manager 403 | Missing IAM permissions | Grant secretmanager.secretAccessor role | | Config mismatch after deploy | Old secrets cached | Clear client cache, reload secrets |

Examples

GitHub Actions with per-environment secrets:

# .github/workflows/deploy.yml
jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    environment: ${{ github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' && 'production' || 'staging' }}
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - run: npm ci && npm run build
      - run: npm run validate-env
        env:
          MAINTAINX_ENV: ${{ vars.MAINTAINX_ENV }}
          MAINTAINX_API_KEY_PROD: ${{ secrets.MAINTAINX_API_KEY }}
