I meant data heterogeneity - the variety in formats, edge cases, and data quality you encounter in production. Real user data often has inconsistencies, missing fields, unexpected formats, etc. that synthetic test data tends to miss.
This helps surface integration issues and performance bottlenecks early.
It helps reveal unknowns in the problem space that synthetic data might miss.
App stores are easier to reach prospects than the web because users already know where to go to install a new app...
That is more difficult on the web unless you have a very niche app (users are looking for your solution).
I rewrite all the deployment scripts with bash (took less than a hour) and never had a problem since.
Morality: it's hard to find the right tool for the job
