       Show HN: SandFaux - Your sandbox and our faux data
        
       After countless (TRULY COUNTLESS) hours of manually seeding and
       resetting Salesforce sandboxes for our sales demos and integration
       testing, we couldn't take it anymore.  SandFaux started as an
       internal tool for this tedious process, but after a few customers
       asked for access, we decided to productize it & make it publicly
       available for anyone to use!  This was really just the starting
       point for our internal tool. We want to also add:  * Text Prompting
       for Scenarios  * Custom Fields  * Custom Configurations  * Dynamic
       Data  * More Integrations  https://sandfaux.com

           | Haha!! This was meant to be a provactive conversation.
           | 
           | It's pronounced "Sand-Fox".
           | 
           | But the genesis of this Sandbox + Fake data (Faux). But given
           | Fox rhymes with Box, we thought we'd be cheeky about it lol

         | It's a great question!
         | 
         | A sandbox is a testing environment that isolates untested
         | changes & experimentations from the production environments.
         | 
         | Chances are if you're using Salesforce for work, it's the
         | "production" instance that is meant for prime-time. There is
         | probably some admin/developer/IT person in your company that
         | has access to creating sandboxes to test changes before they
         | push to everyone else.
         | 
         | fwiw typically this is used by larger companies & isn't as
         | useful for small startups.
