Hi! By default your Stripe account gives you live API keys and test API keys. The test API keys are for test mode, the live API keys are for live mode. And in the dashboard there is a toggle in the top right to switch between the two modes.
You can learn more about this here: https://stripe.com/docs/keys#test-live-modes

Ok, we saw that there was a possibility to create your own, personal test environment. As we are a significant amount of developers it would be very nice to make a personal setup long term instead of sharing one test environment

#

In the Stripe dashboard, in your header, below our Company name there's a drop down which gives you the option to do "New account"

#

So say we are 50 devs and our DevOps want to build something that automatically sets up your personal Stripe test account (with your own customers, subscriptions and webhooks etc)

If you want each developer with their own isolated testing environment with Stripe, then you would need to create one Stripe account per developer.

yes, can this be done by the api or similar?

Technically you can create Standard Accounts with the API if you are using Stripe Connect, as explained here. However this does requires some manual work https://stripe.com/docs/connect/standard-accounts
It would be much quicker and simpler to directly create the new accounts from the dashboard, by clicking in the top left corner and selecting "new account".
