Development environment
A safe workspace where developers build and try changes before wider testing

Gives developers a safe place to create and try changes before other people rely on them.

A developer runs the API locally with sample data to try a new endpoint before opening a pull request.
A developer tests a new pricing rule in the development environment using sample data without affecting real customer orders.
Think of it like…
Rehearsal room: loud experiments welcome; the public audience is elsewhere
