When selecting offers on the pricing page (https://run-odoo.com/pricing), a clear recommendation is made inside the row entitled “Best used for.” Run-Odoo proposes to pick between 3 different types of environments for every Odoo Instance you wish to deploy.
It is referred to as “DEV” and is mostly recommended to be used with the VALUE offers:

CAUTION: The Run-Odoo interface is only giving recommendations for DEV / STAGING / PRODUCTION deployments. These are just indications. Inside the Run-odoo console, the client remains free to pick the offer he wants and tag it as a DEV, a STAGING, or even a PRODUCTION.

- A client wishing to set up a very cheap PRODUCTION instance for a few users and not wishing to use anti-virus or backup is free to do so with a VALUE offer (not recommended).
- On the other hand, a client could wish to use a high-profile PERFORMANCE instance for STAGING purposes.
