## Problem to solve As we move out of the initial spike phase of the remote development backend, we have some decisions that need to be made from a Product/UX perspective that will shape our path to production. Specifically: 1. Should we keep the input for a Devfile/creation of a Workspace flexible (a text box input field) or is it always tied to a versioned Devfile thats checked into a GitLab repo? 2. What limitations do we place on users? 1. Do they have a single namespace? Can this be used to provision a Workspace for a different namespace? 2. Should we limit the creation of workspaces similar way as we do it with CI minutes 1. You can commit to a project = you can create pipeline that will be billed to the project’s namespace 2. You can commit to a project = you can start a workspace for that project that will be billed to the project’s namespace 3. Should users be allowed to edit the devfile for a running workspace from the GitLab UI? ## Outcomes
