How many environments can I have?

As many as you want.

Do I have to use versioning?

No, see options below for how to disable.

Does it support slack notifications?

Yes, but you will have to setup a webhook from your slack settings before you can use it. Once you have set it up, look below for more information.

Does webpack deployer support FTP?

At this time, FTP support is not included, however we are looking into doing so in the future, however, a timeline is not available on that.
