PRACTICAL FIELD GUIDE
Keep staging and production project configuration separate
Separate projects reduce accidental overlap only when URLs, keys and user sessions stay paired with the intended environment. Names alone are not sufficient.

Put it into practice
- Record each environment's project ID, API base and secret references.
- Configure deployment environments without copying production credentials into public examples.
- Run a harmless identity check after deployment before enabling mutations.
What this looks like
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
The preview frontend is deployed with a production API base and a testing user flow. An explicit project check catches the mixed configuration.
A boundary to keep clear
Do not assume an environment label automatically provisions isolated data or permissions.
MCPBackend context
Managed hosting and a portable export solve different operational needs. Write/storage caps block writes, while the API-request cap blocks data requests including reads. The exported runtime covers compatible CRUD, auth and row policies; it does not include the hosted dashboard, MCP server, webhooks, billing, metering or managed backups.
Take the next step
Inspect the current project contract, try the change with disposable data, and verify the result through the same credentials your app will use. Record the expected response and one denied-access case before release.
