While implementations and use cases may vary, simulating a production environment as closely as possible is the main goal. Imagine you're part of a team developing a complex API, and you've been tasked with adding a new endpoint that relies on features within the codebase currently being optimized by one of your team members. Although your team has a development environment with seeded databases and dev versions of dependencies, you run into issues when team members want to test their optimizations at the same time as you.
