what kind of interesting failures have you seen because of caching

Ty!

What good is a memory dump if you don't have the codebase to navigate? without the code and structure of how its managed a memory dump would just look like an alien language.

Also the process of updating the snapshot should be dead simple!

Good question - In theory the frequency depends on the factor of how frequently other teams are introducing breaking changes in terms of API. If the dependency is too early in development phase and API is changing a lot, then probably that api should not be consumed (internally we don't allow such api to hit prod). But still its a good practice to update snapshots (like you said for stale/seed data) and I have been part of teams that have daily or weekly schedule jobs to run these updates (Both approaches work fine).
