Description

🌈 Feature

Quoting Dan Abramov on Twitter:

at least, for React, just switching NODE_ENV is enough. Maybe offer an option?

I wasn't aware that csb isn't running in prod, had no idea that dev mode in general has this kind of impact: https://twitter.com/dan_abramov/status/1136526025393754112

The original demo is here: https://codesandbox.io/s/peaceful-johnson-txtws it goes so slow that it's barely moving at all.

I am mostly using csb for presentational matters, when you want to demonstrate a library in the best light or some functionality. It would be nice to know the underlying framework's doing its best. 🙂

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how sandboxes select development mode and how NODE_ENV is configured, then check the linked slow demo as a baseline. Done means users can run a sandbox in production mode and observe the expected performance behavior without changing unrelated sandbox behavior.
