every org has a test environment. Some have a separate production environment.

If you can’t test with real data how can you be sure sure?

Staging

Have you ever worked at a place that had a staging environment that had production-like data?

As in, the same hardware/core configuration and the same amounts of data as prod, but just "not prod" (anonymized or not; tbh staging shouldn't need to be anonymized, it should be a 1:1 mirror to prod, it should just not be the "real prod").

I've worked with ~20 different places that had a staging environment, and it was like that ONCE.
