What is the method to identify whether the Firebase Cloud Functions environment is for development or production?

edit

The method to identify whether the Firebase Cloud Functions environment is for development or production is by checking the value of the process.env.NODE_ENV environment variable.

In a development environment, the value of process.env.NODE_ENV will be 'development', while in a production environment, the value will be 'production'.

You can use this variable to control the behavior of your code depending on whether it is running in a development or production environment. For example, you can use it to enable or disable certain features or to connect to different databases depending on the environment.
