They leverage Neon's branching model to create isolated ephemeral environments populated with sanitized data synced from Aurora via AWS DMS. A custom Kubernetes operator automates branch creation for each new environment. Neon read replicas are also used to offload ETL and analytics queries from their primary Aurora cluster, reducing contention. The setup avoids the need to copy large datasets manually and enables fast, isolated testing for feature teams. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
