The platform supports three deployment environments.
| Environment | Purpose | Data isolation |
| development | Local iteration | Full isolation |
| staging | Pre-production validation | Shared test data |
| production | Live traffic | Full isolation |
Warning: Do not use production credentials in development or staging.
Schema changes are applied through versioned migrations. Migrations run automatically at deploy time before new code is released.
Downgrades are not supported automatically. Always back up before deploying a migration.
