Serious question: are you going to catch "corrupt data"-style migrations in staging in general?
There are of course "locks up the DB"-style migrations where you can then go in and fix it, so staging helps with that. But "oh this data is now wrong"-style errors seem to not really bubble up when you are just working off of test data.
Not to dismiss staging testing that much, but it feels like a tricky class of error where the answer is "be careful and don't delete data if you can avoid it"...
- yencabulator 5y agoEven the "locks up the DB" migration behavior tends to depend on the load & size of tables, which staging might not recreate.
