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.
