+# Defang Deployment Modes
+
+Defang provides three deployment modes: development, staging, and production. These modes allow you to balance cost and resiliency according to your needs.
+
+* **Development**: This mode is used for development and testing purposes. It typically involves less stringent resource allocations and may include debugging tools and verbose logging to aid in development.
+* **Staging**: This mode serves as a pre-production environment where applications are tested in conditions that closely mimic production. It helps in identifying issues that might not be apparent in the development environment.
+* **Production**: This mode is used for live deployments. It involves optimized configurations for performance, security, and reliability. Resource allocations are typically higher, and debugging tools are minimized to ensure stability.
+
+## Deployment Mode Comparison
+
+| Feature | Development | Staging | Production |
+|-|-|-|-|
+| Build Resources | Builds will be run with 2x vCPUs | Builds will be run with 2x vCPUs | Builds will be run with 4x vCPUs |
+| Databases | Defang will provision resources optimized for burstable memory | | Defang will provision resources optimized for production |
+| Static Resources | | | Defang will provision a CDN |
+| Object Storage | S3 contents will be lost when deprovisioned. | | S3 contents will be retained if the bucket is deprovisioned. |
+| Deployment | Previous deployments will be spun down before new deployments are spun up. | | Rolling updates will be used to deploy new versions. |
+| Logging | Logs retained for 1 day to save costs. | | Logs retained for 30 days for compliance. |
+| Networking | Defang will provision a bastion box. | | Defang will provision a NAT gateway. |
+| DNS | Defang will provision shorter TTLs | | Defang will provision longer TTLs |
