My team made the “mistake” that all new projects need to be built and approved on our dev clusters before we allow them to be deployed to the prod clusters. We’re very explicit that dev is ephemeral, and that everything should be as code, so everything heals itself…
Despite this, whenever we reprovision the dev env, we always get emails from several different people saying that we wiped their prod databases and such. It’s crazy.
I stood up a test, staging, and prod pair of web server/dbs, got the Drupal 8 site stable on Drupal 10, hand it over, and yeah. No one uses anything but prod.
As a sysadmin, nothing makes me want to bitchslap devs harder. It’s shocking how many don’t even ask if we have a dev enviro. (The answer is yes)
