tl;dr NER models work best when they process data similar in structure to their training data. This notebook shows a few examples of how one can use an NER model not trained on JSON to actually identify and redact both structured and unstructured values with in a JSON blog. The NER model used is free available but closed source, but one can expect similar results with open source NER models such as spacy.

Eddie, I think it would be neat if we could build vendor images by just supplying docker containers with maybe some type of config.

At Tonic (https://tonic.ai) we do on-prem deploys with docker containers and docker-compose. Its seamless and would be great to use that same flow for Digital Ocean marketplace.

Hi, this is Adam. I'm a founder at Tonic.

As others have said, we've found a lot of smaller companies will test with production data because of their need/desire to move quickly. But we've also seen much much larger companies use production data in their dev/staging environments. Sometimes there will be production-like safeguards and security measures in place but not always. People shy away from practices that slow down development and testing.

We think synthetic data is the right solution for a few reasons. Most importantly, we believe it provides the right level security, while still allowing your team to be productive, i.e., your business logic and test cases still work. It also allows you to scale really easily since you effectively have a ruleset for generating data of any size. Finally, it’s a great way to share data throughout your organization and can help facilitate sales and partnerships.
