Do you ensure the values you replace with 'make sense' in the context of the application? i.e are names turned into fake names?

If so, I would love to hear more about you handle the complexities of this. If not, it's still a wonderful pipeline that I'm putting my ideas box, thanks for sharing.

Nope! I probably could with the Faker library; but we don't care about that - and to do so would be a much heavier query. My query looks like this, so it runs extremely fast and isn't an issue on Lambda:

  `UPDATE Users set FirstName = 'FAKEFIRSTNAME', LastName = 'FAKELASTNAME', StreetAddress = '123 FAKE ST.', Zip = '10001', PrimaryEmail = Cast(NewId() as varchar(36)) + '@x.com', Phone = '555-555-5555')`
