As soon as you have users using your product in production you need a staging environment.
A staging environment is the closest environment you have to production. Or it should be.
Let's lay down a few reasons to have a staging environment
Realistic Testing
As your product scales your services can get very complex.
Running and testing the production in localhost is not so close to the production environment.
Otherwise, the Staging environment should get as close to production as possible.
You can also have more data in staging than in localhost to test scenarios.
Quality Assurance
Anyone on the team can easily test a new version of the system before it goes to production.
Regression tests
You can run end-to-end tests to catch regressions before they reach production.
Load Tests
You can run load tests in staging to see how your services scale based on some workloads.
In Summary
A Staging environment is essential for ensuring software quality, stability, and security. It acts as a crucial buffer between development and production, allowing for thorough testing, validation, and issue resolution before the final release
