Now that we're up and running in prod (🎉), should we set up a shared dev/staging environment?

Let's definitely talk about this. In general, I am 1000% against staging environments as a concept (continuous delivery #ftw -- happy to explain my reasoning), but I am in favor of the idea of getting our development and production environments as sync'ed as possible. IMO, the best approach to this is to Docker-ize our setup. Let's discuss along with the rest of the "non-user-facing" stuff we wanna chat about.

We do this as necessary rather than as a standard part of the pipeline. Closing.
