Run masquerade against a .sql file instead of database about masquerade HOT 4 OPEN

I agree but I have no clue how to make that happen.

Another approach could be made possible using https://github.com/ifsnop/mysqldump-php. Another lib https://github.com/heyday/laravel-anonymised-sql-dumps uses it.

@toonvd that looks interesting. But that will mean a very big rewrite since we now generate queries and run them against MySQL

If we were to use mysqldump-php, we'll have to rewrite everything to transform callables like this https://github.com/ifsnop/mysqldump-php#changing-values-when-exporting

Doable, but a lot of work. Not sure if it's worth the hassle.

It depends on your requirements indeed, for me, a stream using an anonymous mysqldump would mean a lot less i/o when migrating DBs. Also, it avoids anonimising the wrong (production) DB by mistake. I guess this could be a separate project.
