“By default, Microsoft Power Platform app makers can create up to three developer type environments. Developer environments are special environments intended only for use by the owner. Use these environments to build, test, and perform application lifecycle management (ALM) with Power Apps, Power Automate, and Microsoft Dataverse.”
