Maybe you are using other services like "Sphinx" for search. Should every
developer run and maintain a copy of Sphinx?
You should be able to get away with running one of these on the dev machine.
Just replicate over from prod periodically and have each developer hit this
instance. It is less likely that every developer needs his/her own search
server.

I haven't approached this regarding LDAP so I can't comment.

- In real applications, you will have multiple entry points (website, API

locally?
Assuming this is all in your scm and deployed the same way, I see no reason
not to have all of this working on each developer's instance. We run the
main web application, public api, and cli scripts from the same
Zend_Application instance w/ Zend_Config. You don't need ZF to do this but
ZF makes it easy and organized.

Your dummy data may also run out of date
I suggest a weekly dump, but depending on your app, dummy data may suffice.
Sorry to say it, but, it depends.

Maybe your application is a shop system, your data contains credit card
numbers and other sensible information. Do you want that every developer
has access to these data? ;)
Are you really storing the full credit card number? If so, the dump isn't
the problem. You aren't PCI compliant in this case. Last 4 is OK. Even with
that, I don't see the need to transfer the real last-4 numbers to dev
instances. Those can easily be mocked. This is a good reminder of why I'm
glad I no longer deal with e-commerce data.

- Logging. Your application will generate many log files.
Syslog is your friend and it is available by default. With ZF, you can
switch between logging to syslog/file based on environment if you like;
however, I like syslog.

But you won't want that your developers sends out test mails to real
users.
Filter the email address to be an internal one before sending or write a
mock smtp adapter that simply logs the intended recipient and the email as
it would have been sent to a file.

Not if you take the above advice.
