environment-strategy

What problem does it solve?

Environment strategy defines when and how many environments exist, how data and access are controlled, and how to achieve prod parity while keeping costs under control.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Per-env purpose explicit — no "kitchen sink" envs
• Prod parity rules to ensure staging closely mirrors prod
• Data strictly separated across environments to protect production data
• Access differentiation to limit who can do what in each env
• Ephemeral per-PR preview environments to accelerate feature development
• Cost visibility and tagging to manage multi-environment spend
• Documentation of per-env specs, teardown policies, and naming/config patterns

Quick Start

Outline the environments you will use, assign a clear purpose, data handling rules, access controls, isolation, and parity targets for each, then document their refresh cadence and teardown policy.
