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
Projects are becoming an important boundary for how resources are organized and deployed on the platform.
Resources within the same project are placed to work together consistently, while communication across projects may differ depending on the resource type and platform networking model. Cross-project communication remains possible through public URLs over the Internet.
Project-Level Private Networks
Private Networks provide an additional isolated communication layer for application containers within a project. Other resource, such as Databases, may use different networking paths depending on how they are exposed on the platform.
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.
