Core Concepts¶
New to Versioner?
Read How It Works first — it explains how these concepts fit together before you dive into the details.
Versioner is built around a small set of concepts. Here's what each one does:
Visibility¶
| Concept | What it is |
|---|---|
| Environment State Matrix | Grid showing what version of each product is running in each environment — your deployment source of truth |
| Products | Deployable software components (services, apps, libraries) |
| Versions | Build artifacts ready to deploy |
| Environments | Deployment targets (dev, staging, production) |
| Deployments | Records of what was deployed where and when |
Control & Governance¶
| Concept | What it is |
|---|---|
| Deployment Requests | Governed deploy workflow with approval gates and audit trails (Govern tier+) |
| Deployment Rules | Automated policies that gate, sequence, and enforce your deployment standards (Orchestrate tier+) |
| User Roles | Role-based permissions defining who can approve what |
