Data Seeding and Data Obfuscation

In this lesson, we’ll explore the practical applications of Faker.js for database seeding and data obfuscation in a Nuxt project using Prisma. Database seeding is essential for populating development and testing environments with realistic mock data, and we’ll illustrate this process step-by-step. You’ll learn how to create a robust seeder that generates a dynamic number of users and associated posts, ensuring unique and representative data. We'll also discuss data obfuscation, a vital practice for protecting personally identifiable information when working with production data.
