+### Setup Hybrid Mode Development Environment
+
+You can follow the steps given below to setup a hybrid mode environment.
+
+1. Activate the venv
+
+   ```bash
+   # . bazel-bin/build/kong-dev-venv.sh
+   ```
+
+2. Following [Deploy Kong Gateway in Hybrid Mode: Generate certificate/key pair](https://docs.konghq.com/gateway/latest/production/deployment-topologies/hybrid-mode/setup/#generate-a-certificatekey-pair) to generate a certificate/key pair.
+
+3. Create CP and DP configuration files, such as `kong-cp.conf` and `kong-dp.conf`.
+
+4. Following [Deploy Kong Gateway in Hybrid Mode: CP Configuration](https://docs.konghq.com/gateway/latest/production/deployment-topologies/hybrid-mode/setup/#set-up-the-control-plane) to configure CP using `kong.conf`.
+
+5. Following [Deploy Kong Gateway in Hybrid Mode: DP Configuration](https://docs.konghq.com/gateway/latest/production/deployment-topologies/hybrid-mode/setup/#install-and-start-data-planes) to configure DP using `kong.conf`.
+
+6. Unset environment variable `KONG_PREFIX` to ensure configuration directive `prefix` in configuration file is enabled.
+
+7. Modify or add the directive `prefix` to `kong-cp.conf` and `kong-dp.conf`
+to be `prefix=servroot-cp` and `prefix=servroot-dp`,
+or other names you want, but make sure they are different.
+
+8. Use the pre-defined docker-compose file to bring up databases, etc.
+
+   ```bash
+   # start_services
+   ```
+
+9. If it is the first time to start Kong, you have to execute the following command to CP node.
+
+   ```bash
+   # kong migrations bootstrap -c kong-cp.conf
+   ```
+
+10. Start CP and DP. `kong start -c kong-cp.conf` and `kong start -c kong-dp.conf`.
+
+11. To stop CP and DP, you can execute `kong stop -p servroot-cp` and
+`kong stop -p servroot-dp` in this example.
+Names `servroot-cp` and `servroot-dp` are set in configuration file in step 7.
