Other dev in group chat: we need to stop syncing so much data from prod to uat because it's crashing the uat db...

Me thinking: no really... U just realized it's not a good idea to dump most of the prod db into uat every week?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Derp derp derp.

@JustThat it's for testing, shouldn't be definitions the whole prod db into it

Nowadays I follow a "clean up ur own shit" methodology.

@JustThat well how do you sync data from pro? And well you don't need like data that's like 5yrs old right? But that's what's in prod. Usage of that data though is rare but may sometimes be looked up by user.

And what if some upstream system need to change their input. We need a test env/db to test and make the changes to our code before it hits prod?
