When a Magento Import Nuked a Product Catalog
I got the message on a regular weekday: “We lost almost the entire product catalog, around 10,000 products gone, only 100 left.” The client had no idea what happened. They suspected something went wrong after running a product import, but the CSV file in question looked harmless, it had just a few items. It shouldn’t have caused any damage. Yet, the damage was done.
