Ask HN: Does your company give devs DB dumps to use for local development?
4 by cmorgan8506 | 4 comments on Hacker News.
I'm curious how various companies provide their devs with data to use for local development of their software. Particularly when the database spans hundreds of tables and GBs of data. Do you get a sql dump? how often do you get updated dumps? Is the data anonymized at all? For really large databases do you trim the tables? If you don't use database dumps, what method do you use to generate data to develop against locally?
