<p>A common reason why environments aren't updated and get out of sync is because it's a time-consuming or complex task.</p>
<p>The process should be simple to run, quick, reliable and reproducible.</p>
<p>It's the same as deploying a change to a staging or production environment.</p>
<p>You want the same result on every time on every environment.</p>
<p>You want every environment - including <a href="/daily/2024/12/25/localhost">local development environments</a> to be as consistent as possible to minimise bugs and errors.</p>
<p>To do this, I automate things to make them as simple as possible.</p>
<p>I use <a href="/daily/2022/08/15/using-run-file-simplify-project-tasks">run files</a> with commands to import databases, perform updates and run pre-update and post-update tasks.</p>
<p>I use tools like Nix and <a href="/daily/2024/11/11/could-nix-and-devenv-replace-docker-compose">devenv</a> to create identical and reproducible environments.</p>
<p>The simpler and quicker is it, the more it can and will be done.</p>
<p>You can also use automation to perform long or complex tasks outside of working hours such as sanitising and importing large databases.</p>
<p>The more you can automate, the better.</p>
