I want to use Okta APIs for machine-to-machine authentication (with OAuth 2.0 access tokens)  
I will never exceed api call limits, but I am confused with the term “developer” edition.

Could you explain me whether Okta Developer Edition can be used in a Production Environment (in my simple scope)?

Thanks,

Developer edition basically means you get API Access Management as a feature.
