Is there limitations on the dev cloud environment, or is it safe to use it for prototypes?
I don't need the separation of prod/dev right now and my usage doesn't need a lot of resources.
The deploy on save of the dev environment is really powerful 😅

Thank you!
there are a few different settings in production deployments, like logs are not sent to clients https://docs.convex.dev/functions/error-handling/#differences-in-error-reporting-between-dev-and-prod
and it's harder to accidentally deploy a bug to production because the CLI asks for confirmation on deploy. (you can
npx convex dev --prod if you want the push-on-save behavior for prod, but this isn't recommended because it's easy to push bugs)
and some things like custom domains are prod-only https://docs.convex.dev/production/hosting/custom
but there aren't any fundamental limitations to dev deployments compared to prod ones, so if you really want to you can use a dev one for a prototype.
we're glad you like the deploy-on-save behavior 😄
