A development account is provisioned, the provisioning including a request for a backing service. The backing service includes: generating a developer schema in a database, generating a table link in the developer schema to shared tables required for the new development environment, generating a delta table, and generating a union view with a defined instead-of-trigger used to write, update, or delete from the delta table upon a write, update, or delete operation on the union view. A runtime application server is obtained and a repository is configured in a version control system. The runtime application server is configured to connect to the generated developer schema of the provisioned development account, and an identifier is provided to the provisioned development account.
