I have a node.js app with a mongodb database so I want to have two instance of an app running at the same time . one on production and one on development. so is it possible to set different NODE_ENV on different instance of an app.

Use .env file via .gitignore if you will take a pull in both instances it won't transfer in your instance you will create .env in your project, then it will be different for both projects.

.env file for production 

db = mongodb://XX.XXX.XX.XX/zXp
IAM_USER_SECRET = 06VXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXRzC
NODE_ENV = production

.env file for development 

db = mongodb://XX.XXX.XX.XX/zXp
IAM_USER_SECRET = 06VXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXRzC
NODE_ENV = development

I think what you are asking can be achieved using:

NODE_ENV=development node server.js

You can run one instance with development and second one with production.
