Configuration Management
Configuration management in production often involves environment-specific settings stored in environment variables or configuration files. In development, configurations might be hard-coded or stored in simpler formats.
Example:
// Development configuration
const config = {
database: 'mongodb://localhost/dev-db',
port: 3000
};
// Production configuration
const config = {
database: process.env.DB_CONNECTION_STRING,
port: process.env.PORT
};
