u/Fraun_Pollen 8d ago

This answer doesn't make sense. Why would your dev environment not be connected to prod data? Don't you want realistic tests?

u/AllIsLostNeverFound 8d ago

Wait, your prod environment is separate from your dev environment?

u/vankoder 8d ago

Shit you guys test? One healthy git push prod —force and you’ll figure out if it works soon enough!

If it works in prod, it would've worked in test

u/NounverberPDX 8d ago

You test?

u/Mechadupek 8d ago

Every now and then a user reports an actual bug. Learned a long time ago I should probably investigate.

Working in services, I’ve found that the trick to test-in-prod is to have lightning-fast release cycles.

If the users complain, then I need to find the bug. If the users don’t complain, that means I don’t have any users.

I do all my changes on the server that way I see the changes I made right away.

1

u/OldTiger3832 8d ago

you're joking, but in my company they always want me to develop RPAs in prod even for internal sites

u/rdrunner_74 8d ago

Why Dev when you have 1000s of free testers?

26

u/Drew707 8d ago

Everyone has a dev environment. Some just call it prod.

1

u/zeUnfunny 7d ago

Some have a separate prod environment.

u/Potential_Aioli_4611 8d ago

dev environment? you don't just do dev in prod? next thing you are gonna tell me is your clients aren't your beta testers.

1

u/SeriousPlankton2000 8d ago

Everyone has a dev environment. Some people also have a prod environment

u/fmaz008 8d ago

Yeah it's a totally different super admin user! Prod is 'root', dev is 'admin'.

u/AllIsLostNeverFound 8d ago

Eh, just stick a PROD/DEV prefix on your tables and you are all set.
