Right, that’s why you do integration testing (manual and automated) but are you saying therefore you should do all development inside a production environment?

That’s what doesn’t pass muster to me. Why should I work on my CSS styles in an environment with the production database? It will be much slower than just working on that package in my desktop environment with just enough scaffolding the code runs.

But maybe I’m not understanding your suggestion.

OP was referring to containerizing your environment for package development.

What does connecting to a production DB have to do with any of that?
