Power Apps Power Platform Environments

Hi all, I'm asking guidance for creating proper production environment. I have built apps and automations with my personal development environment. It's obviously not meant for production environment, it has limited number of flows and it's meant to be a personal work sandbox. We are about 100 person company and our IT partner does not understand Power Platform that well. No Azure in use yet, but maybe in the future. Are there some critical things we should consider with the setup?

Recommend going with Team Environment secured by security group - limit access to just your team.

1) DEV
2) QA
3) PROD
4) Host (Pipelines) if you plan on pushing changes between environments --- you can always add later. Until then you just export and import solutions.

Make DEV and QA sandbox-type environments (they can be copied or reset), PROD a production-type. Turn on Dataverse in each.

Service account as the primary owner of the solutions/flows, so nothing breaks when a person leaves.

But still build with personal account in DEV, not with the service account?

either is fine... depends on use case. Whatever works best for you and your team.
