The point is to isolate the routes, administration route vs production route (access for regular users). This can be done by customizing the server.js config file something like this:

// modified server config
module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  host: env('HOST', '0.0.0.0'),
  port: env.int('PORT', 1337),
  url: "https://prod.domain.com/api", 
  admin: {
    url: "https://dev.domain.com/api", 
    auth: {
      secret: env('ADMIN_JWT_SECRET', 'replaced'),
    },
  },
});

Then you need to start both dev and prod instances with pm2.
