When doing conversion work, separate production or namespace

I am starting a conversion project for a health system that is currently migrating to Health Connect. They have their DEV and TST environments in one production and their PRD in another.  What is the best practice for standing up conversion environments...separate name spaces in the two productions or separate productions? Keep in mind the interfaces are temporary?

While you can create multiple productions in a single namespace, you can only run one at a time. There's really no good reason to have more than one production in a namespace ... and with each production in its own namespace, they can be running concurrently.

Thank for weighing in on this. This makes total sense.

Well, I highly recommend to you to not use the same instance of Health Connect for TEST, DEV and PRODUCTION, even more, I recommend to you to deploy each environmnent in different servers.

It won't be the first time that a code un DEV has a infinite loop creating heavy globals that use all the space in the disk.
