Same endpoint hostname in dev + prod env files
Part of the Connection hygiene check · fix arrives as a guide
What it is
The same Neon endpoint hostname appears in both the development and production environment files.
Why it matters
Development is pointed at the production database. Every local test, seed script, and migration experiment runs against real customer data, and a mistaken DELETE in a scratch script is a production incident.
How to fix it
Create a separate Neon branch for development and point the local environment at it. Branches are cheap and copy-on-write, so a development branch gives realistic data without touching production.
