How to test

Attempt to run this project locally, does it work?

How can we measure success?

Developers have much better understanding of how their changes will work when deployed to production.

Have we considered potential risks?

We have changed the application.conf so unless parameters are overridden by env vars when deployed unexpected behaviour may occur. Looking at the terraform config for this service it appears the params for which new defaults are provided are overwritten.
