<p>I was able to set up my development environment for the course thanks to the help from others in the discord and the guides they developed.  I understand that this helps us set up the plutus playground in our local environment for the course.</p>

I was able to set up my development environment for the course thanks to the help from others in the discord and the guides they developed. I understand that this helps us set up the plutus playground in our local environment for the course.

My question is: How does this setup differ from what we'd end up using for a contract in a production environment? Is there additional infrastructure required to run smart contracts in mainnet production?
