How to deploy more than one application to single Gitlab managed cluster?

I saw projects hosted on Gitlab with Gitlab AutoDevOps connect to a separate GKE cluster, with every project connecting to its own GKE cluster.

I saw there is something called monorepo in Gitlab which can be used to deploy everything on a single cluster but clusters being expensive to create for a single project, what was the reason behind Gitlab going for one cluster per project instead of say, one namespace per project or something else?

Actually... GitLab 13.5 (October 2020) has now:

Customizable namespaces for GitLab Managed Clusters

Users of GitLab Managed Clusters can now choose to use a single namespace per project, or a single namespace per environment, when creating clusters.

While single namespaces per project simplified finding review apps, separate namespaces per environment can provide additional security.

See Documentation and Issue.
