1. Pre-production Pre-production should test production in a non-production environment. Specifically, if a system connects to, say, SalesForce, and you've been using a local sandboxed instance of SalesForce in dev and UAT, the pre-prod should connect to the real, live SalesForce. I have a pre-prod environment for my current project, and it's useless because org policy states that only prod environments can connect to live instances of anything. Completely invalidates the reason for having pre-prod. 2. Configuration ...will always have different config settings... Yes, aside from pre-prod. Pre-prod and prod MUST be mirror images, INCLUDING config settings. Identical. The same in every way except for host names.
