Recipe Lifecycle Management lets you plan, test, and then deploy your integrations for a seamless experience. It also enables teams to collaborate and contribute to recipe development.

The process of Recipe Lifecycle Management involves moving recipes as packages from a development/testing environment to a production environment, which enables moving only tested and stable recipes for integration into production. Packages can be imported and exported, which contain recipes, lookup tables, templates, and more.
