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
Each project has a resource quota that defines the total CPU and memory available for all services in the project. This quota is determined by your subscription plan.
Resources are shared across all services in the project. For example, if your Pro plan allows up to 0.5 vCPU and 512 MB of RAM per service with 4 services, the project’s total resource pool is 2 vCPU and 2 GB of RAM. You can distribute those resources across your services as long as the total does not exceed the quota.
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 |
|---|---|
| Hobby | 1 |
| Pro | 3 |
| Business | 10 |
| Enterprise | Unlimited |
