14-15: Enhance documentation for production deployments

The comment explains the purpose well, but consider adding a note about production environments where DIRECT_DATABASE_URL might need different credentials or connection parameters for security reasons.

 # A connection string to your Postgres database for direct access (used for migrations)

4-4: Review database URL configuration

Setting DIRECT_DATABASE_URL to the same value as DATABASE_URL might not be ideal in production scenarios where direct database access requires different credentials or connection parameters than the application's database access.

Consider if this needs to be configurable separately in production environments. Let's verify the database configuration patterns in the codebase:
