Clear visual differentiation between production and non‑production environments is an established industry best practice. It reduces operational risk, prevents accidental actions in the wrong environment, and aligns with standard environment management and UX principles.
Currently, production and non‑production environments appear almost identical, distinguished only by a small logo in the top‑right corner. This creates unnecessary risk for users who frequently switch between them. This is especially problematic for system administrators, testers, and business users who work across multiple environments as part of their daily roles.
Without immediate visual cues, users can unintentionally perform actions in the wrong environment, leading to data integrity issues, contaminated test results, or unintended changes in production.
Introducing distinct visual differentiation is a simple yet highly effective improvement. It would increase user confidence, reduce errors, and strengthen operational safety. This is a low‑complexity enhancement with significant value for customers managing multiple environments daily.
