Starter data loaded into an app so it has useful content before real users arrive.
Seed data powers demos, tests, local development, and static catalogs. It should be clearly separated from live user data.
Plainly
Think of Seed Data as a labeled box where an app keeps important things. Starter data loaded into an app so it has useful content before real users arrive.
In practice
Use it when a feature reads, writes, migrates, validates, or audits stored information. In practice, define the owner, input, output, and failure mode before you rely on it.
