The article discusses how to manage development environments using the Ash Framework with a focus on organizing seed data files in Elixir projects. Traditional methods of handling seeds can become unwieldy as applications grow, leading to complex and fragile scripts. The use of Ash Generators allows for modular and reusable data generation, leveraging faker libraries for realistic test data. This approach ensures consistency across the application by following production business logic. Additionally, the introduction of AshOps allows developers to generate data via Mix tasks, offering flexibility and ease of integration during development.
