Feedback wanted: I built a proxy that reads from prod and catches writes
As the title says, I've built VirtualDB and I'm looking for some feedback.
The main goal is to stop having to clone a database just to spin up a dev environment or CI Pipeline. So, why not just let the reads go straight to prod, catch the writes, and merge the delta. Hope y'all can take a look and let me know if this is going down the right track.
Full disclaimer, this is in a very new alpha state, so if you want to pull it down and try it **Please** be careful. It should only need Read access to the source DB, so feel free to limit what it can do to the source with your own permission grants.
