Workflow 1: DevOps Team - Initial Setup & Configuration

πŸ—οΈ Infrastructure Setup

Goal: Establish secure, scalable database snapshot infrastructure for the entire organization.

# Configure storage profiles for different security levels
storage_profiles:
  # Production raw data - highly restricted
  prod_secure_s3:
    provider: s3
    region: us-west-2
    bucket: company-prod-db-snapshots
    awscli_profile: dbsnapper_prod_readonly
    # Only DevOps team has access

  # Team sanitized data - broader access
  team_shared_s3:
    provider: s3  
    region: us-west-2
    bucket: company-team-db-snapshots
    awscli_profile: dbsnapper_team_shared
    # Developers and QA have access

  # Analytics data - specialized access
  analytics_r2:
    provider: r2
    bucket: company-analytics-snapshots
    account_id: your-r2-account
    awscli_profile: r2_analytics
    # Data team and analysts have access

Configure enterprise authentication:

  1. Set up Okta integration following the complete guide
  2. Create organizational groups:
Okta Group Structure:
β”œβ”€β”€ dbsnapper-devops           # Full administrative access
β”œβ”€β”€ dbsnapper-senior-devs      # Production database access
β”œβ”€β”€ dbsnapper-developers       # Development and staging access
β”œβ”€β”€ dbsnapper-qa-engineers     # Testing and sanitized data access
β”œβ”€β”€ dbsnapper-data-team        # Analytics and reporting access
└── dbsnapper-contractors      # Limited, time-bound access

Configure production database targets with comprehensive security:

targets:
  # User API - Core production database
  prod_users_api:
    cpus: 8  # High performance for large database
    snapshot:
      # Read-only user with minimal permissions

πŸ” Validation & Testing

Comprehensive setup validation:

# Test all storage profiles
dbsnapper config check --storage-profiles

# Validate all target configurations  
dbsnapper config validate --targets

# Test SSO integration
dbsnapper auth whoami

# Create test snapshots
dbsnapper build prod_users_api --dry-run
dbsnapper build prod_orders_api --dry-run  
dbsnapper build prod_analytics_warehouse --dry-run

# Test sanitization
dbsnapper sanitize prod_users_api --dry-run

Security Validation Checklist: - [ ] All source databases use read-only users - [ ] SSL/TLS enabled for all database connections - [ ] Storage profiles use appropriate access controls - [ ] Sanitization queries remove all PII - [ ] SSO groups properly restrict access - [ ] Audit logging captures all operations

Workflow 2: Developer Team - Daily Development Workflow

πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» Typical Developer Day with DBSnapper

Goal: Seamlessly integrate realistic database snapshots into daily development workflow.

# Check available database targets (filtered by SSO group membership)
dbsnapper targets

# Output shows targets you have access to:
# prod_users_api (via dbsnapper-developers group)
# prod_orders_api (via dbsnapper-developers group)

# Load latest sanitized snapshot for feature development
dbsnapper load prod_users_api

# Verify database is ready
psql postgresql://dev_user:pass@localhost:5432/users_api_dev -c "\dt"

# Start development with realistic data
npm run dev  # or your development command
# Working on orders feature - need orders database
dbsnapper load prod_orders_api

# Load specific snapshot if needed (0 = latest, 1 = previous, etc.)
dbsnapper load prod_orders_api 1

# Check target details and available snapshots
dbsnapper target prod_orders_api

# Run integration tests with realistic data
npm run test:integration
# QA reported bug - need to reproduce with exact data
# Load the same snapshot QA is using
dbsnapper load prod_users_api 0  # Latest snapshot

# Reproduce bug with realistic data
npm run test:bug-reproduction

# Debug with confidence - data matches production patterns
npm run debug:user-flow
# Optional: Pull snapshots locally for offline work
dbsnapper pull prod_users_api
dbsnapper pull prod_orders_api

# Snapshots now available locally even without internet
ls ~/.dbsnapper/  # Shows downloaded snapshots

πŸ”„ Development Scenarios

Scenario: Building user profile enhancement feature

# Start with fresh user data
dbsnapper load prod_users_api

# Develop feature against realistic user profiles
# - Real email patterns (sanitized to @example.com)
# - Authentic user behavior data
# - Production-like data volumes

# Test edge cases that only appear in production data
npm run test:edge-cases

Scenario: Fixing payment processing bug reported in production

# Load orders database with payment data
dbsnapper load prod_orders_api

# Bug likely involves specific data patterns
psql postgresql://dev_user:pass@localhost:5432/orders_api_dev -c "
  SELECT payment_status, COUNT(*) 
  FROM orders 
  WHERE created_at > NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days' 
  GROUP BY payment_status;"

# Fix code with confidence using production-like data
# Test fix against realistic data patterns
npm run test:payment-processing

Scenario: Optimizing database queries for production load

# Load large dataset for performance testing
dbsnapper load prod_analytics_warehouse

# Run performance tests against realistic data volumes
npm run test:performance

# Profile queries with production-like data distribution
# Identify bottlenecks that only appear with real data patterns

Workflow 3: QA Team - Testing & Quality Assurance

πŸ§ͺ QA Testing Workflows

Goal: Ensure consistent, reproducible testing with realistic data across all QA scenarios.

Daily QA environment refresh:

#!/bin/bash
# qa-daily-refresh.sh - Run via cron or CI/CD

# Refresh all test databases with latest sanitized snapshots
dbsnapper load prod_users_api
dbsnapper load prod_orders_api

# Verify data integrity
dbsnapper config check --target prod_users_api
dbsnapper config check --target prod_orders_api

# Run smoke tests to verify environment
npm run test:smoke

echo "QA environment refreshed with latest sanitized data"

Scenario: Reproducing production bug report

# Bug report: "User profile update fails for users with special characters"

# Load latest user data
dbsnapper load prod_users_api

# Find users with special characters (sanitized data preserves patterns)
psql postgresql://dev_user:pass@localhost:5432/users_api_dev -c "
  SELECT id, first_name, last_name 
  FROM users 
  WHERE first_name ~ '[^a-zA-Z ]' 
  OR last_name ~ '[^a-zA-Z ]' 
  LIMIT 10;"

# Test with specific user data patterns that trigger the bug
npm run test:user-profile-update

# Document reproduction steps with realistic test data

Comprehensive regression test suite:

# Load consistent snapshot for regression tests
dbsnapper load prod_users_api 0  # Always use latest
dbsnapper load prod_orders_api 0

# Run comprehensive test suite
npm run test:regression

# Tests run against:
# - Realistic user behavior patterns
# - Production-like data volumes  
# - Authentic data relationships
# - Real-world edge cases

# Results are reproducible across team members

🎯 QA Test Scenarios

End-to-end user flow validation:

// Integration test with realistic data
describe('User Registration to Purchase Flow', () => {
  beforeEach(async () => {
    // Fresh sanitized data for each test
    await loadSnapshot('prod_users_api');
    await loadSnapshot('prod_orders_api');
  });

  it('handles complete user journey', async () => {
    // Test against realistic user data patterns
    // - Authentic email patterns (sanitized)
    // - Real-world name variations
    // - Production-like user behavior data

    const result = await testUserJourney();
    expect(result).toBeSuccessful();
  });
});

Performance testing with production data patterns:

# Load large dataset for performance testing
dbsnapper load prod_analytics_warehouse

# Run load tests with realistic query patterns
npm run test:load-testing

# Test scenarios:
# - High user concurrency patterns from production
# - Complex analytical queries with real data distributions
# - Edge cases that only appear with production data volumes

Validate sanitization and security measures:

# Verify no PII in sanitized snapshots
npm run test:pii-detection

# Test access controls
npm run test:authorization

# Validate sanitization effectiveness
psql postgresql://dev_user:pass@localhost:5432/users_api_dev -c "
  -- Should find no real email addresses
  SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users WHERE email NOT LIKE '%@example.com';

  -- Should find no real SSNs
  SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users WHERE ssn IS NOT NULL;

  -- Should find no real phone numbers except test pattern
  SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users WHERE phone != '555-0000';"

Best Practices & Troubleshooting

🎯 Workflow Optimization

Optimize snapshot operations for team workflows:

# High-performance configuration for team environments
defaults:
  cpus: 4  # Baseline performance for all operations

targets:
  # Large production databases - use more resources
  prod_analytics_warehouse:
    cpus: 12
    snapshot:
      schema_config:
        # Reduce snapshot size with targeted schemas
        include_schemas: ["marts", "dimensions"]
        exclude_schemas: ["staging", "temp", "logs"]

  # Frequent development use - optimize for speed
  prod_users_api:
    cpus: 6
    storage_profile: high_performance_s3  # NVMe storage class

Maintain security across all workflows:

# Regular security validation script
#!/bin/bash
# security/validate-security.sh

echo "=== DBSnapper Security Validation ==="

# Check all connections use SSL/TLS
dbsnapper targets --json | jq -r '.targets[].snapshot.src_url' | while read url; do
  if [[ ! "$url" =~ sslmode=require ]]; then
    echo "WARNING: $url does not enforce SSL"
  fi
done

# Verify read-only users
echo "Verify using read-only database users..."

# Check sanitization on all shared targets
echo "Validating sanitization configuration..."
dbsnapper targets --json | jq -r '.targets[] | select(.sso_groups | length > 0) | .name' | while read target; do
  if ! dbsnapper target "$target" --json | jq -e '.sanitize.override_query' > /dev/null; then
    echo "ERROR: Shared target $target has no sanitization configured"
  fi
done

if ! dbsnapper auth whoami; then
  echo "❌ Authentication failed - check SSO configuration"
  exit 1
fi

# Check target accessibility
echo "2. Checking target access..."
dbsnapper targets > /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
  echo "βœ… Targets accessible"
else
  echo "❌ Cannot access targets - check SSO group membership"
fi

# Check storage connectivity
echo "3. Checking storage connectivity..."
if ! dbsnapper config check --storage-profiles; then
  echo "❌ Storage connectivity issues - check AWS credentials"
fi

# Check recent snapshot availability
echo "4. Checking snapshot freshness..."
TARGETS=$(dbsnapper targets --json | jq -r '.targets[].name')
for target in $TARGETS; do
  LAST_SNAPSHOT=$(dbsnapper target "$target" --json | jq -r '.last_snapshot_date')
  if [ "$LAST_SNAPSHOT" = "null" ]; then
    echo "⚠️  No snapshots available for $target"
  else
    echo "βœ… $target: Last snapshot $LAST_SNAPSHOT"
  fi
done
