Projects Overview

Projects offer a new way to organize your applications and resources. They let you group applications into logical units that reflect your organization’s structure.

Learn how to manage your projects.

Why use Projects?

Projects provide a structured way to separate applications according to your own logic, whether by product, customer, environment, or any other approach that fits your needs. This makes large accounts easier to navigate and manage, while keeping resources clearly organized.

Projects are becoming the foundation for resources billing, access controls, and network segmentation. They already underpin networking capabilities such as Private Networks.

By grouping your resources into Projects today, your organization will be ready to take full advantage of current and future improvements.

Network Segmentation

Our platform is evolving to improve performance and resilience. As part of this change, our internal network is being rearchitected into multiple subnets, and each project becomes a full network boundary. As a result, resources in different projects no longer communicate over the internal network. Cross-project communication remains possible through public URLs over the Internet.

Project-Level Private Networks

Private Networks allow you to group application containers into a dedicated and isolated network at the project level.

Resources within the same Private Network, and therefore within the same project, can communicate freely over the internal network. For larger applications, we recommend splitting resources into one project per environment so network boundaries align with data segmentation between environments and their data sources.

Default Project

The project named default is created automatically when your account is set up. By default, this project is used for any application or resource that is not explicitly assigned to another project. You can rename this project at any time, or designate any of your other projects as the new default one to better match your organization’s needs.

Current Limitations

  • Collaborators may not see all resources within a project. They only see the applications or databases to which they have been individually added. User management remains at the application level for now, until more granular access controls are introduced at the organizational and project levels.
  • Accounts are limited to 20 projects to prevent misuse. This limit can be raised depending on your needs by contacting our support team.
