Managing Magento 2 set mode (MAGE_MODE)

Magento 2 comes with a new feature set called MAGE_MODE. This option gives you the configuration to run Magento in either developer, default, or production mode.

This feature is very important during development and product phases. It gives a developer the tool to debug or created optimized caches for high performance needs.

By default, the default mode is set.

The following table describes the modes in which we can run Magento:
