How can you process production requests without the matching data? Processing a user with UUID X taking action Y depends on those things existing in the DB.
I can't tell if this is brilliant or insane. Brilliant in that I see the potential of catching bugs. Insane in that you'd need to be really really really sure that the environment the requests are diverted to can't change production data. Including sending out e-mails or other communciations.
So right now we focus on helping devs develop using their staging environments, but we do plan to get to production later on.
As Eyal described here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31634831) next features would be enabling network access, env var access and file system to the remote cluster as the impersonated pod. After enabling "primitive" access we would also provide "protection" features as of what you can really send/use/change.
