Dev workflow with playfab?,Best dev workflow?

As a developer, I like to have separate environments. For instance, if I'm coding something locally (before pushing to prod or dev) I want to be able to use my own text editor, change some code, and see the result locally. I'm new to playfab and am wondering what are some ways to imitate this workflow? I want to use cloudscript (which seems perfect), but I don't see a way to use it without constantly copy and pasting the code I write into the website and clicking "upload new revision". Is there a way to muck around with the server logic locally? Do I need to host a playfab server locally to do this? Thanks!

So as a developer,

Wish I could edit this, as it seems a lot of the formatting got messed up for some reason (including the title which was supposed to say "Dev workflow with playfab?"

First, I'd say that the best approach is to use multiple Title IDs, so that you have separate dev, test, and live "environments". We'll provide a way to "push" a title's configuration between Title IDs in our tools in an upcoming sprint, but if you've automated most of the configuration in your build using the Admin API, it's usually as simple as changing the Title ID in your build settings.

For Cloud Script, the development workflow I would recommend would be to turn on our GitHub integration, so that you can manage your Cloud Script via a Git repo. There's "Use GitHub" button on the Cloud Script page you can use to start the setup of that.

Is there any update on migrating/merging title configurations between titles as mentioned above?

We are also looking into spinning up PreProd, QA and several Dev environments for feature development.

We will be providing a method to copy a title configuration between titles in a future update (possibly as soon as this summer). For now, I'd recommend using the CLI tool:

Any news on a proper tool? The current CLI tool is not able to copy the full configurations if there are complex dependencies between drop tables and bundles.
