LiveKit non-production deployments let you test voice agents before production

Test your voice agents with non-production deployments

AI summary

LiveKit added non-production deployments that run a voice agent under a different name on the same container image, project and secrets as production, created with a single command. Each deployment sleeps when idle at no cost and wakes on the next request, and you target it with the --deployment flag. It requires livekit-agents 1.6+ for Python or @livekit/agents 1.7.1+ for Node, and plans grant 2 deployments on Ship and 5 on Scale.
