Staging Server
EHRI uses a staging server to test bulk data ingests meet requirements before running them on production. Staging is also used to test various other things and is periodically refreshed from the production database.
Restoring a fresh staging instance from production
This is a multi-step process:
take a copy of the PostgreSQL database
take a copy of the Neo4j database
stand up each of them on the staging instance
rebuild the search index
TODO more docs on this awkward process, and the script to make it easier.
