Currently, Test and Production environment are in the same server. Therefore, if you have a problem in this particular server, both enviroments can be lose.

This issue considers that there is a seggregation, one production server and other server for everything else at least.
In this scenario, it is important to disable the feature Test/Prod on the Production server. The Test/Prod combo still can be useful in the other environment (test, development, validation...), but no for Production.

Therefore, this issue requires to disable the Test/Prod feature for the Production environment.

From my standpoint I am strongly thinking about removing the selection of prod and test and simply deploying two separate frontends (one for prod and one for test). This would resolve this issue and also reduce confusion about which environment a user is connected to.

The way we designed our environment in BNDES, we have:

• one instance with Develop and User-Approval environments (Test and Prod combo options)
• one instance with Production environment (should have only Prod combo option)

Is there a way to make a parameter to enable those combo options? May be in the .env file?

Thanks!

I think it would be possible to enable this via the .env file, but I think it would be better to be consistent and deploy separate frontends for each environment (see comment above) and completely remove the Prod/Test drop down menu.
