Solutions Use case

Developer sandboxes and the CLI

Testing auth against a shared staging tenant means flaky tests and leaked settings. The lumo CLI creates a sandbox organization in seconds, opens a tunnel for local webhooks, and cleans up after itself.

The Get started checklist in the portal

One staging tenant for twenty developers

Someone changes the MFA policy and everyone's tests fail. Webhooks cannot reach a laptop. Preview environments share one client ID.

How LumoAuth solves it

lumo dev start

Creates a sandbox organization with a 24-hour lifetime (one week maximum), seeds a client, and prints the environment variables. Docs

Tunnels for webhooks

lumo tunnel exposes your local server so webhook deliveries and redirects work on a laptop. Docs

Scaffolding

lumo init and npx create-lumo-agent set up an app or an agent project with the right configuration. Docs

Diagnostics

lumo doctor checks your configuration, discovery and keys. Docs

Sandboxes from CI

The Admin API spawns and destroys sandboxes from a pipeline; a daily job removes forgotten ones. Docs

Configuration as code

Terraform and the Kubernetes operator keep real environments reproducible. Docs

Setting it up

Install the CLI

See the install guide.

lumo login

Device flow sign-in from the terminal.

lumo dev start

Which plan you need

The CLI, lumo login, lumo tunnel and lumo migrate are free. Ephemeral sandboxes are a $199/month add-on on Business (ten at a time). Every plan can use its own organizations for testing.

Questions

Do sandboxes count toward my usage?
Sandbox organizations count toward the sandbox limit of the add-on, not toward your organization limit, and their users are not billed as active users.
