> let the developers choose Absolutely not. Developers making choices about stuff like that is asking for troubles. I'm an SRE - and this is how production issues start, because some dev decided that somehow, in production, something like this should not be there, until problems pop up, but then it's too late. For us it's simple, the moment it hits the CI/CD pipeline, it's a production build, even if it happens just end up on some test or staging environment. If you possibly need it there, you need it on production. Our way of working means that the exact same build artifact should be promotable to production.
