Analyze current differences between development and production environments
and provide three options for improving parity:
1. Conservative: Minimal changes, maximum benefit
- 2 replicas for critical services
- Resource limits at 50% of prod
- Specific CORS origins
- Resource impact: +30% RAM
2. High Parity: Maximum similarity
- Match all prod replica counts
- Production resource limits
- Enable SSL and monitoring
- Resource impact: +200% RAM
3. Hybrid: Balanced approach
- 2 replicas for stateful services
- Resources at 60% of prod
- Production configs with dev features
- Resource impact: +100% RAM
Recommendation: Start with Option 1 for best cost/benefit ratio.
