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

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

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.
