Goal

Built in environments

Parameters

• a reusable environment (ideally a VM) hosted in Docker GUI.
• fake data is a-okay for now

Idea

Have an image and save the state and distribute the state as needed

• production database snapshot
• spin up own environment and goes and clones working DB.
• find an alternative to snaplet

prod DB — connected to —— staging (which pulls from prod 2/wk) —- development systems locally

execution

back up sql databases to an S3 bucket, then allow devs to download that to local machines.

why that?

This has the benefit of 2 things; having warm storage (something we may access often) as a backup, and separate the dev environments separate from working databases.

How often are backups made?

every 2 weeks.

is it automatically to the bucket?

yes
