Sandboxes that expire on purpose
By Ben Koh
Pilot sandboxes rot when they linger. We set expiry dates up front so rehearsal data never pretends to be production truth. Teams rehearse rituals, not vanity metrics.
Promotion checklists include naming checks, owner mapping, and rollback notes. Missing any item blocks promotion — annoying, effective.
Training recordings live beside the sandbox so new hires inherit context, not just credentials.
If you need an immortal playground, we scope a different line with separate pricing and governance.
