Good ideas for disabling API endpoints in production?

[severe junco]

Is there a way to disable certain routes in production?
I know I could just put an env check and just return 404, but is there some way disabling the rules based on the env.
Is middleware the right answer?

middlewar.ts, which is deployed to Edge, works as if it were a reverse proxy so as the official documentation says you can implement personalization, i18n, authorization, rate limit, tailor headers and so on. plus traffic won’t hit AWS Lambda.

you can also use redirect in next.config.js to redirect traffic to those paths; it won't require making a middleware file but won't be as flexible as middleware
