I agree completely. At my last company, we built internal tools to provide these ephemeral environments on demand to engineers, QA, and even sometimes product managers. Eventually, we grew tired of managing internal tools and tried to use off-the-shelf deployment tools, but the lack of good support for ephemeral environments really held back productivity. Its great to see next-gen infrastructure tools support this, both from the article and also from infrastructure products like planetscale and railway.
