> Segment suggests that you create one source for each type of data you want to collect. For example, you might have one source for all of your website tracking and a different source for any mobile tracking. Creating one source per data type provides the following benefits:

-
> - Debugger ease of use - mixing libraries/sources on a single API key means you’re heavily reliant on filtering to actually test events
85
-
> - Flexibility sending data to different projects - if you want to have different warehouse schemas, analytics projects, etc, having multiple sources would create this separation
86
-
> - More control - as your account grows with the number of destinations you enable, having separate sources allows you to have more control
87

> - A source type cannot be changed once it is created. You must create a new source if you would like to use a different source type.
