Logging
Logging is typically more verbose in development to aid debugging. In production, logging is minimized and often sent to external logging services for monitoring and analysis.
Example:
// Development logging
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
console.log('This is a development log.');
}
// Production logging
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
// Use a logging library or send logs to a monitoring service
console.log('This is a production log.');
}
