  However you do it, the ability to spin up a fresh env with one click or so

    Yep, basically “cattle, not pets” in code. There should only ever be “what runs and production” and “the best imitation of what runs in production” dynamically spun up. Anything else is going to hurt you in the long run

    So, like start virtual machine snapshot

      Beware, recreating a VM snapshot can be very difficult, and its lineage may become an unreproduceable "pet". Something you are able to construct from scratch on demand, automatically, is preferable.

      I don’t think so. I prefer it to be reproducible from scratch so you don’t have the state from production. That way you can figure out what’s in there and remove fear of change
