Three Environments

Environment Variables

ENV = os.getenv('AGENT_ENV', 'dev')

if ENV == 'production':
    DB_URL = os.getenv('PROD_DB_URL')
else:
    DB_URL = os.getenv('DEV_DB_URL')

Summary

Connecting the development environment to the production database is the most common cause of incidents. Separating environments is just a matter of adding an environment variable check.
