# Overview

Environments live within [Stacks](/core-concepts/architecture/stacks) and provide logical isolation of resources. Environments on the same Stack share networks and underlying hosts.

[User Permissions](/core-concepts/security-compliance/access-permissions), [Activity Reports](/core-concepts/architecture/operations#activity-reports), and [Database Backup Retention Policies](/core-concepts/managed-databases/managing-databases/database-backups) are also managed on the Environment level.

<Tip> You may want to consider having your production Environments in separate Stacks from staging, testing, and development Environments to ensure network-level isolation. </Tip>
