Environment Separation

Overview

Strictly separated development, staging, and production environments. No shared databases or services.

Why It Matters

Prevents accidental prod changes. Each environment has its own config, data, and access controls.

Implementation Pattern

1. 1Create separate environments
2. 2Use different credentials per env
3. 3Isolate networks
4. 4Tag resources clearly
5. 5Restrict prod access
