Production environment
The live technical setup that real users and business processes depend on
What's it for?
Keeps the live system used by real people separate from places where changes are developed and tested.
For example…
After sign-off, the release is promoted to production and the status page stays watched through the morning peak
The production environment contains the live customer database and application servers, so a bad deployment there can affect real orders and revenue
Think of it like…
The shop floor during opening hours: this is where customers are, not the stockroom trial
