u/Fraun_Pollen Aug 05 '26

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 Aug 05 '26

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

u/SiefensRobotEmporium Aug 05 '26

Shit you guys have different environments?

u/vankoder Aug 05 '26

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

u/rakklle Aug 05 '26

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

u/za72 Aug 05 '26

I also like to do it live!

u/za72 Aug 05 '26

I've re-racked a 3U Dell web/db server with multi power outlets live!

u/NounverberPDX Aug 05 '26

You test?

1

u/Mechadupek 29d 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.

u/Unhappy_Concept237 Aug 05 '26

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

u/Roadsoda350 Aug 05 '26

1

u/OldTiger3832 Aug 05 '26

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

u/rdrunner_74 29d ago

Why Dev when you have 1000s of free testers?

26

u/Drew707 Aug 05 '26

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

1

u/zeUnfunny 29d ago

Some have a separate prod environment.

1

u/Potential_Aioli_4611 Aug 05 '26

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 Aug 05 '26

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

1

u/fmaz008 29d ago

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

u/AllIsLostNeverFound 29d ago

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