In documentation its said that development sandboxes are: slower, have its own limits 

Both types of sandboxes might be reset

What are the advantages of Development sandboxes in that case from your experience?

Hi @michael_soprano 

Development sandboxes are basically "safe playgrounds" where you can:

  • Test stuff without breaking anything important
  • Learn AEP features without worrying about mistakes
  • Try different approaches before committing to production
  • Let multiple people experiment simultaneously
  • Validate integrations end-to-end
  • Test schemas, data flows, and configurations without impacting production
  • Production data remains untouched during testing
  • Compliance and privacy safeguards maintained

Bottom line: Yeah they're slower and get reset, but that's the price for having a risk-free environment to figure things out before you deploy to production. Better to move slow in dev than break things in prod.

    But on the other hand I can have:

    - production production

    - production development (which I can also delete and I am interested why not use this one 🙂 )

    Yes you can use that one as well. Also find the below documents for the sandbox licence and setup.
