feat: Development and Production Mode (like Clerk)

[ryderhorne]

Describe the feature you'd like to request

I was hoping for a separate development and production mode for UploadThing applications.

Describe the solution you'd like to see

I would like to see something like Clerk’s development and production instances for each app. For example, on development instances, Clerk allows any paid feature to be used no matter what your plan is. I think this would be useful for UploadThing as well, as it will encourage users to experiment and determine what plan will best fit them. I also think that files should be separated between instances like Clerk users are on Clerk; development instances should have their own files that cannot be viewed in production, and vice versa. I think it would also be beneficial for development instances to not be capped like production instances are, however, I’m not sure what possible costs that could incur. 🙂

Additional information

As far as I know, there are no other open issues that request a similar feature.

Definitely something we have in mind, just thinking about how to best implement it 👍

Right now the only features that are paid only are regions and ACL, which are simple enough that there's not a huge benefit to unlocking them on dev, but we'll take this into consideration
