I developed a web application Using java EE 6, its a very small web application for a starting business organization,
I did all the testing on it for performance, correctness, and so on, and we bought a server for hosting our web application and did all the necessary work (static ip, application servers set up... etc.)
Now, I want to move it to production stage, what is the difference between production and development environments? and how to change the stage of the project (application) from Development Environment to Production Environment?
(i.e how to move the application from my local machine to the server).
I don't think so there is any difference between production and developement enviroments. Moreover, everyone tries to keep developement enviroments indetical (or very similar) to the production one.
Production means only that on this particular environment people work instead of developement and test environments where developers/testers are doing their jobs...
