Thanks, @pfaffman — really appreciate the guidance!
Just to clarify: one of the main reasons we’re exploring this route is that both the CSV and API-based methods are too slow for what we’re trying to do. We’re spinning up lots of isolated instances and need to populate each one with a batch of users quickly during provisioning.
Would the fixtures/plugin approach you mentioned allow for significantly faster user creation compared to the API or CSV methods? Specifically, we’re hoping to reduce wait time during setup — ideally something that executes instantly or near-instantly along with the initial DB setup.
Thanks again!
