- 🔒 Never commit
.envfile to version control - 🔒 Use strong passwords in production
- 🔒 Rotate credentials regularly
- 📌 Always run migrations before deploying
- 📌 Use
db:migrateinstead ofdb:push - 📌 Set NODE_ENV=production
- 📌 Use environment-specific .env files
- 🛠️ Run
db:generateafter schema changes - 🛠️ Use
start:devfor active development - 🛠️ Keep TypeScript strict mode enabled
- 🛠️ Use
