Easily Test your Local RTB Scripts on Production Without Deploying

Introduction

When testing RTB scripts on production, constant deployments slow down the process and increase the risk of system disruptions. This makes it frustrating to quickly validate script changes, especially for minor adjustments.

With Requestly, you can bypass deployments altogether by injecting your local RTB scripts directly into the live environment. This allows you to test in real-time, saving time and reducing the risks associated with frequent deployments.
