How to Set Up Environments: From Playground to Production

How to structure environments to balance agility with stability? At Webiny, we recommend going beyond the classic development–production split by introducing a development playground for experimentation, a staging environment for QA and stakeholder validation, a pre-production environment that mirrors production for final testing, and a robust production environment for live content delivery. Why multiple environments matter for safety, quality, confidence, planning, and collaboration? Ultimately, adopting this simple structure helps teams innovate quickly while keeping the codebase and user experience stable.
