Terminology
Here are some of the definitions and what they can mean
Deployment: All the activities that make software available for use
Development Environment: The environment you use when you create software
Environment: The Operating System, API calls and databases used by software
Production Environment: The environment used by the end user of your software
Staging Environment: An environment somewhere between Development and Production
Why is there a need?
Why do we need different places to deploy our code to. Now imagine you work for a bank, and want to test a feature where a customer can withdraw £1000 from their account (or Mickey Dollars, whatever monetary or bartering system units you use).
