I'm curious how people handle the difference between dev/prod in regards to mirroring schemas and seeding data in the test environment. When writing code I use Alembic and fixtures to create and seed a dev database with Python. Ruby on Rails has that built in. I'm curious if there is a feature I am missing or if people just use a separate script to do this?
We really try to keep production data off of our dev machines.

There's prod/dev environments https://github.com/meltano/squared is a good example I think
I don't think this helps you with seeding data, but it shows how people use dev/prod envs. Not sure if there's anything shared people have done with seeding data
There's been some ideas around this I think, but your use case is more concrete if you could throw an issue up here https://github.com/meltano/meltano it might be helpful

Thanks for the response @visch. I think this may be a bit less of an issue for at at the moment than I had originally thought but it is something I will put on my to do list to look into later. And will file an issue if I have any ideas.
