Projects Overview
Projects are the central organizational unit in Guara Cloud. Each project groups your services, deploys, domains, and team members into a single workspace.
What is a project?
A project works as a workspace where you organize everything related to an application or product. Inside a project, you can:
- Create and manage services (APIs, web apps, workers, etc.)
- Invite team members with different access levels
- Configure custom domains
- Track deploys and logs
- Manage environment variables and persistent volumes
All resources within a project share the same resource quota, defined by your plan.
Creating a project
To create a new project, go to the dashboard and click New Project. You will need to provide:
- Name — a descriptive name to identify the project (for example,
my-apioronline-store). - Description (optional) — a short description of what the project does, useful for teams with multiple projects.
When you create the project, you automatically become the Owner with full control over all settings.
Project list
On the main dashboard, you will see a list of all projects you are a member of. Each project displays:
- Project name and description
- Your role in the project (Owner, Admin, Member, or Viewer)
- Number of active services
- Overall service status
You only see projects you were invited to or that you created yourself.
Resource quotas
Your plan defines an account-wide resource pool shared by all services across all of your projects. For example, the Pro plan reserves up to 1 vCPU in total for up to 12 services (at most 4 per project), with up to 0.5 vCPU per service. You can distribute that pool across your services as long as the total reserved CPU does not exceed it.
If you need more resources, you can upgrade your plan or enable overage billing in the project settings.
Project limits by plan
The number of projects you can create depends on your plan:
| Plan | Projects allowed |
|---|---|
| Trial | 1 |
| Starter | 2 |
| Pro | 3 |
| Business | 5 |
| Enterprise | Unlimited |
