Pre-production validation:
- Production-like configuration
- Integration testing
- Performance testing
- User acceptance testing
Production
Live operational environment:

- Distinct endpoints
Configuration Management
Environment Variables
Environment-specific settings via variables.
Feature Flags

Secrets Management
Secure handling of credentials per environment.
Promotion Process
Moving between environments:
- Test in development
- Validate in staging
- Deploy to production
- Monitor for issues
Data Considerations
- Never use production data in development
- Sanitized datasets for testing
- Data generation tools available
