deployment pipeline vs data source parameters

[wpf_]

I have been working on 3 different files: dev, test and prod for my project, and recently i learned about deployment pipelines and data source parameters.  Which is the better approach?  I think with pipelines, I need 3 separate working environments, where as parameters does not i believe.

Hi  @wpf_ ,

Recommend to use deployment pipelines:

The deployment pipelines tool enables BI creators to manage the lifecycle of organizational content. It's an efficient and reusable tool for creators in an enterprise with Premium capacity. Deployment pipelines enable creators to develop and test Power BI content in the Power BI service, before the content is consumed by users. 

You can deploy according to the content of the link below:
