environments and deployment

[plott722]

Two part message...
1. I'm creating a new Fabric environment.  My thought is to have dev/test/prod - each on a separate subscription and different capacity (at least prod).  Does this seem reasonable and are there any deployment issues I need to consider?

2. Where can I find good documentation on using Azure DevOps on my fabric artifacts - notebooks, pipelines, etc.  Not sure how I create new branches in Fabric.

Thank you, suparnababu8!
Appreciate the response.

Quick follow up, if you don't mind.

Would you recommend using VS or VSCode with Fabric, or is that overkill?

Thank you!

Hi @plott722 

Appologies for late reply. 

Using VS Code with Fabric is a smart choice and not exceessive. It's a lightweight, flexible tool with strong support for Fabric. VS offers more advanceed features, which can be helpful for largerr projects or when you require sophisticated debugging and profiling tools. But, for most tasks relateed to Fabric, Visual Studio Code is easier to use and should meet your needs effecitively. 

If you need more info pls go thorugh below documentation URLs it might helps you.

Hello @plott722 

• Your approch to create a sepearte subscriptionas and capacities for dev/test/prod is good. But, setting up different resource limiits or abilities for each environment, like prod, helps use resourcees wisely and keeps thiings running smoothly and also having different subscriptions makes it eaasier to keep an eye on expences and plan budgets for each setup or environament more effectively.
