For anything that actually needs to persist to the next day (that also isn't a core support-service like login- or vaulting-hosts, GitLab, Jenkins, etc.), we add them to our power-scheduler.

Group I work for is the technical cloud-enablement group. Our group got created months before the first cloud-services users started to explore moving to cloud. Because the budgets were allocated to those other groups, we were pretty much forced by necessity to implement scheduling tools so we wouldn't blow our budgets each month.
A Senior Developer working mostly with PHP and JavaScript, with a bit of Python thrown in for good measure, all on Linux. My tooling is simple, it's GitLab and JetBrains where possible.
Wait for our TEST environment to get brought up by hand.
Every.
Single.
Day.
By hand??? Oof.

We have a scheduling tool, but bringing up the environment isn't my wheelhouse. I just test the things. 🤣🤣❤️💯

Necessity: the mother of invention. =)
I actually had to re-read that a few times to make sure it said what I thought it said.
And now I am sure it says what I think it says, I can only politely say "wait, what?!"
The joys of decades old ancient codebases, mainframes and 2018 frontend ui frameworks.
Real treat! We did it again today! 🤣🤣🤣
Are you humble-bragging that you have a test environment?
If it worked like it was supposed to, then yes Sir. 🤣🤣
Honestly, that is what I do for the first 30 minutes of every workday.
Besides, everyone knows by now to only test in Production.
At least, everyone outside of my enterprise. 😏
