Here's yet another example of how I got burned when my local dev environment didn't match my prod environment. Sync queues work differently than other queue types.

Yes, it happens, and it's difficult to catch those quirky mistakes in dev.
That's why I build a staging local server out of an old machine that I don't use anymore that's only on my home/office network that matches the exact same stack I use in production.
I deploy to the staging server first, test the hell out of it, and then when I'm confident, and only then, push to production.
Nice! I do a conceptually similar thing, but with Docker.
One thing that annoys me with my Docker approach and these modern Macs, is that I'm still running a different CPU architecture than in production 😄️
