Maybe you can work on building a 3rd server to host your remote database, and get them to connect to it.  
Not sure how to do that though, haven’t done that on discourse yet.

But It will be a great idea, to have the actual data loaded on the development machine, to see how it’s going to look like on production (other than using the manual backup/restore thing) which is also possible if you want to..
