I’ve seen some companies using development clusters and assigning namespaces per user. With MSSQL being able to run in containers they’re able to spin it up quickly and point it to a sanitized version of their production data. If they update MSSQL it’s just a matter of killing and spinning up a new container. Or you want to test an update just spin up the new version, point it to the same data, and run your tests.

That’s what databases such as etcd and dqlite are used for.
