responsive to a request, from a user, for accessing a first web page, causing the retrieval of first code for the first web page from a first web application in a production system;
responsive to the first code, causing the display of the first web page that includes an option to access a simulation of a feature that the user may be able to use in the first web application; and
responsive to a choice by the user to access the simulation of the feature,
causing the first web page to be updated to include a first user interface (UI) component that identifies, as a resource to be included in the first UI component, a second web page,
responsive to the updated first web page, causing the retrieval of second code for the second web page from a second web application in a simulated sandbox system that simulates the feature, the second code including code for a plurality of UI components,
responsive to the second code, causing the display of the second web page, which allows for the simulation of the feature, inside the first UI component; and
causing the display of an option to enable the feature in the first web application; and
