In today's fast-paced development landscape, maintaining reliable and up-to-date test environments is crucial yet challenging. Join us as we share our journey of evolving from traditional long-running test environments to testing directly in production, and eventually achieving scalable and ephemeral test environments for platform builders as well as application teams.

- Are you content with the current state of your test environments?
- Do you find yourself relying on outdated, long-running staging and test environments?
- How do you handle the risks of data staleness and unexpected environment corruption?

In this talk, we will go into the strategies and tools that helped us to transition to ephemeral test environments, highlighting the benefits and challenges encountered along the way. We aim to provide you with practical steps to improve the scalability and reliability of your own testing frameworks.
