Maybe I'm conservative, but Infrastructure as code seems like a great idea.
Infrastructure from code seems convenient for side-projects, but absolutely awful for something big where your infrastructure is now implicit in your code??

That DB still needs tables created and test data loaded.
Plus, having to deploy code from the ticket just to be able to reproduce a bug seems like a huge PITA. Give me the local execution!

Ideally the code could be deployed automatically -- perhaps only from trusted/internal parties depending on the product -- so you don't have to actually do that much work. Less than you would if you had to create a database with the specific flags and environment exactly matching those of the reporter.
I dunno, I dream of this sort of reproducible bug report. I don't like the "what version" "what queries" "what errors" back and forth that always seems to happen, even with internal users.
