I treated it as an early piece of product architecture: decide where each version of the product lives before deciding how its data is allowed to move.</p> <h2 id="the-map">The map</h2> <p>The project now has a clear purpose for each environment:</p> <ul> <li>a public marketing site;</li> <li>a production workspace, connected to real data for approved users;</li> <li>a public demonstration with fictional, browser-local records; and</li> <li>a private testing environment with synthetic data and restricted access.</li> </ul> <p>This separation shapes development. A feature can be tested in an environment designed for it, while a public demo stays safe to share and production remains focused on the real workflow. More importantly, it makes the data boundary visible in the product architecture instead of relying on a developer remembering which settings are safe.</p>
