Suggestions how to have a permanent "staging"

Thanks @John_B. This sounds similar to your suggestion in my earlier topic Best practices for staging & prod environments, like a pipeline, using blueprints - #5 by John_B

I haven’t tried it yet, but I am keen to. It sounds like a good solution.

Is this a solution that could fit in well with whatever comes next as an ‘official’ way of managing environments/pipelines?

As you note in the linked-to post above, this could also work if you separate environments into different teams. Is that a pattern that you think is common and worthwhile?
