Apollo Multi-Environment Setup
Overview
Configure Apollo.io for development, staging, and production with isolated API keys, environment-specific rate limits, feature gating, and Kubernetes-native secret management. Apollo provides sandbox tokens for testing that return dummy data without consuming credits.
Prerequisites
Separate Apollo API keys per environment (or sandbox tokens for dev)
Node.js 18+
Instructions
Step 1: Environment Configuration Schema
// src/config/apollo-config.ts
import { z } from 'zod';
const EnvironmentSchema = z.enum(['development', 'staging', 'production']);
const ApolloEnvConfig = z.object({
environment: EnvironmentSchema,
apiKey: z.string().min(10),
baseUrl: z.string().url().default('https://api.apollo.io/api/v1'),
isSandbox: z.boolean().default(false),
rateLimit: z.object({
maxPerMinute: z.number().min(1),
concurrency: z.number().min(1).max(20),
}),
features: z.object({
enrichment: z.boolean(),
sequences: z.boolean(),
deals: z.boolean(),
bulkEnrichment: z.boolean(),
}),
credits: z.object({
dailyBudget: z.number(),
alertThreshold: z.number(), // percentage
}),
logging: z.object({
level: z.enum(['debug', 'info', 'warn', 'error']),
redactPII: z.boolean(),
}),
});
type ApolloEnvConfig = z.infer<typeof ApolloEnvConfig>;
Step 2: Per-Environment Configs
const configs: Record<string, ApolloEnvConfig> = {
development: {
environment: 'development',
apiKey: process.env.APOLLO_SANDBOX_KEY ?? process.env.APOLLO_API_KEY_DEV!,
baseUrl: 'https://api.apollo.io/api/v1',
isSandbox: true,
rateLimit: { maxPerMinute: 20, concurrency: 2 },
features: { enrichment: true, sequences: false, deals: false, bulkEnrichment: false },
credits: { dailyBudget: 10, alertThreshold: 80 },
logging: { level: 'debug', redactPII: false },
},
staging: {
environment: 'staging',
apiKey: process.env.APOLLO_API_KEY_STAGING!,
baseUrl: 'https://api.apollo.io/api/v1',
isSandbox: false,
rateLimit: { maxPerMinute: 50, concurrency: 5 },
features: { enrichment: true, sequences: true, deals: true, bulkEnrichment: true },
credits: { dailyBudget: 50, alertThreshold: 70 },
logging: { level: 'info', redactPII: true },
},
production: {
environment: 'production',
apiKey: process.env.APOLLO_API_KEY_PROD!,
baseUrl: 'https://api.apollo.io/api/v1',
isSandbox: false,
rateLimit: { maxPerMinute: 100, concurrency: 10 },
features: { enrichment: true, sequences: true, deals: true, bulkEnrichment: true },
credits: { dailyBudget: 500, alertThreshold: 90 },
logging: { level: 'warn', redactPII: true },
},
};
Step 3: Environment-Aware Client Factory // src/config/client-factory.ts
import axios, { AxiosInstance } from 'axios';
export function createEnvClient(config: ApolloEnvConfig): AxiosInstance {
const validated = ApolloEnvConfig.parse(config);
const client = axios.create({
baseURL: validated.baseUrl,
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'x-api-key': validated.apiKey },
timeout: validated.environment === 'development' ? 30_000 : 15_000,
});
// Feature gate: block disabled endpoints
client.interceptors.request.use((req) => {
if (req.url?.includes('/people/match') && !validated.features.enrichment)
throw new Error(`Enrichment disabled in ${validated.environment}`);
if (req.url?.includes('/emailer_campaigns') && !validated.features.sequences)
throw new Error(`Sequences disabled in ${validated.environment}`);
if (req.url?.includes('/opportunities') && !validated.features.deals)
throw new Error(`Deals disabled in ${validated.environment}`);
if (req.url?.includes('/people/bulk_match') && !validated.features.bulkEnrichment)
throw new Error(`Bulk enrichment disabled in ${validated.environment}`);
return req;
});
// Debug logging in dev
if (validated.logging.level === 'debug') {
client.interceptors.request.use((req) => {
console.log(`[${validated.environment}] ${req.method?.toUpperCase()} ${req.url}`);
return req;
});
}
return client;
}
export function getClient(): AxiosInstance {
const env = process.env.NODE_ENV ?? 'development';
return createEnvClient(configs[env] ?? configs.development);
}
Step 4: Kubernetes Secrets # k8s/dev/apollo-secret.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: apollo-credentials
namespace: sales-dev
type: Opaque
stringData:
APOLLO_SANDBOX_KEY: "sandbox-token-here"
APOLLO_API_KEY_DEV: "dev-key-here"
---
# k8s/prod/apollo-secret.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: apollo-credentials
namespace: sales-prod
type: Opaque
stringData:
APOLLO_API_KEY_PROD: "master-key-here"
Step 5: Environment Verification Script // src/scripts/verify-envs.ts
async function verifyAllEnvironments() {
for (const [env, config] of Object.entries(configs)) {
try {
const client = createEnvClient(config);
const { data } = await client.get('/auth/health');
const isMaster = await testMasterAccess(client);
console.log(`${env}: ${data.is_logged_in ? 'OK' : 'FAIL'} (${isMaster ? 'master' : 'standard'} key, sandbox: ${config.isSandbox})`);
} catch (err: any) {
console.error(`${env}: FAIL — ${err.message}`);
}
}
}
async function testMasterAccess(client: AxiosInstance): Promise<boolean> {
try { await client.post('/contacts/search', { per_page: 1 }); return true; }
catch { return false; }
}
Output
Zod-validated environment config schema with feature flags and credit budgets
Three environment configs (dev with sandbox, staging, production)
Client factory with feature gating and debug logging
Kubernetes secrets per namespace
Environment verification script testing all configs
Error Handling Issue Resolution Feature disabled Client throws descriptive error identifying which env blocked it Wrong environment Check NODE_ENV, client falls back to development Missing API key Zod throws with clear validation error Sandbox returning dummy data Expected in development — use staging for real data testing
