What does "prod issues" mean in computer science and software engineering?

Solution 1:

"Prod" in this case is a common abbreviation for production. A production system is one used to run an organisation's main servers or infrastructure. A collection of systems that share a common purpose may be referred to collectively as an environment. For example, a production environment might be made up of many production systems (servers).

In my organisation, we have environments for production, dev (development, used to develop new software), sandbox (used for experimentation), and test (used for QA and validation).

Many organisations restrict who can access each environment. Production environments are the most restricted of all, as they are usually critical to an organisation's core operations.
