Hi! I wrote the referenced Segment post! Happy to answer any questions.
The way we did it safely is just as you say: creating fabricated users/organizations/configurations with data generators injecting into the system.
Faking data to look realistic is always challenging, but we used this cool library written by an early segment engineer: https://github.com/yields/phony https://github.com/yields/phony
Not perfect but works well enough! And it's super simple. :-)
- bradwood 4y agothanks -- great post. I think i'm coming round to the idea of faking some data, but need to think through how to do this well. We use the faker lib in JS, but phony looks pretty tight also - thanks for the suggestion.
