What alternative strategies were considered?

question 1 connections

Audience asks what other strategies Szymon considered and which might also work. Answer: the talk showed the two alternatives they evaluated (more tests; a custom production-data environment). Neither was viable: dozens of microservices meant dozens of HTTP interactions to stub by hand, and US state-level regulations multiplied variants; a production-data environment was blocked by compliance and infrastructure cost. Testing on production was the only feasible option.

answer_summary
Full test coverage wasn't feasible (dozens of microservices and per-state regulatory variants); a production-data custom environment raised compliance and cost issues. Testing on production was the only viable option.
