Anthropic Multi-Environment Setup

Overview

Use different API keys, models, and limits across dev/staging/prod.

Environment Configuration

// config/anthropic.ts
interface AnthropicConfig {
  apiKey: string;
  model: string;
  maxTokens: number;
  maxRetries: number;
}

const configs: Record<string, AnthropicConfig> = {
  development: {
    apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY!,
    model: 'claude-haiku-4-5-20251001', // Cheap for dev
    maxTokens: 256,
    maxRetries: 1,
  },
  staging: {
    apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY!,
    model: 'claude-sonnet-4-20250514',
    maxTokens: 1024,
    maxRetries: 2,
  },
  production: {
    apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY!,
    model: 'claude-sonnet-4-20250514',
    maxTokens: 4096,
    maxRetries: 3,
  },
};

export const config = configs[process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development'];

Separate API Keys Per Environment

Use different Anthropic API keys for each environment:

Dev key: Low tier, spending alerts at $10
Staging key: Medium tier, spending alerts at $50
Prod key: Highest tier, spending alerts at usage baseline + 50%

# .env.development
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-dev-...

# .env.staging
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-staging-...

# .env.production
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-prod-...

Model Selection Strategy

Environment	Model	Why
Development	Haiku	Fast iteration, cheap
Staging	Sonnet	Match prod quality
Production	Sonnet (default)	Balanced cost/quality
Production (complex)	Opus	Complex reasoning tasks

Output

Environment-specific Anthropic configuration (model, maxTokens, maxRetries)
Separate API keys per environment with appropriate tier limits
Spending alerts configured per environment
Dev using Haiku (cheap), staging matching prod (Sonnet), prod using Sonnet/Opus

Error Handling

Error	Cause	Solution
API Error	Check error type and status code	See `clade-common-errors`

Examples

See Environment Configuration TypeScript pattern, API key separation strategy, and Model Selection Strategy table above.
