Console: Distinguish between different environments clearly
Is your proposal related to a problem?
Yes, it's a real story, I have my app in three environments (local development, test, and prod) and last week I just had open all of my environments in different tabs in my browser. I just wanted to test a SQL query in my localhost so I wrote my update query to update some rows and then I copied that from my editor to the SQL window in the Hasura console and clicked Run button and I realized all of the sudden that I run this script accidentally on my prod database.
Fortunately, I had a good backup that I restored. Also, my app is not so big and I did that at midnight when no user was logged in so I'm sure I'm good.
I asked my colleague and he also had the same issue before, so I think it's a common issue that may be happening to other users.
Describe the solution you'd like
As a solution I think it's good to choose a different theme or color for each environment then it's clear visually that you are in which environment. For example something like this:
Prod Env:
Test Env:
Local Env:
Describe alternatives you've considered
We can add an environment variable flag or simple setting to set Hasura console as a read only mode then you can disable some dangerous features like: SQL or mutations or edit and delete button in the data viewer to prevent these actions in prod, something like this:
