What you're trying to do is achieved best by what we can config environments https://kedro.readthedocs.io/en/latest/04_kedro_project_setup/02_configuration.html#additional-configuration-environments So you can create a mirror structure in

conf/prod

and

conf/test

and then get Kedro to resolve which one you want a run time by doing

kedro run --env=prod

or use the env variable

export KEDRO_ENV=prod
