I have set up branch deployments before for teams of developers but in my experience the cost of doing so in complexity and extra infrastructure is not generally worth it. It can also be hard to get developers to manage the environments properly. It also increases the pr time if the builds are slow.

Thank you for your feedback!!
Even in a k8s infrastructure? I mean, there definitely is an overhead configuring it, but I'm wondering what would be the difficulty for developer managing the environments.

Yeah, even in k8s if you have 6 PRS then you need 6 versions deployed which takes up space and costs money. In that case there is less to manage but I don't recommend k8s based environments where the underlying infrastructure is managed separately to the application. It doesn't sit well with DevOps culture and I find that immutable infrastructure is a better approach.
