Data syncs between VIP Platform environments facilitate testing and quality assurance (QA) of new features and allows teams to accurately reproduce and examine errors in a non-production environment. After a data sync from a production environment to a non-production environment is completed, the target environment will automatically load shared media files that were uploaded to production. This eliminates the need to copy media between environments.

Fetching data from other servers (e.g., fetching information from external APIs or resources) can be a relatively slow process, and issues relating to timeouts can occur. Remote calls such as wp_remote_get(), wp_safe_remote_get() and wp_oembed_get() should rely on the WordPress HTTP API (not cURL) and should be cached.
