Create a project

import { Steps } from ‘@astrojs/starlight/components’

Create your first project

Projects in MassiCloud are containers for everything in one app: its databases, its storage buckets, its API keys, its end-users.

  1. From your dashboard, click “New project”

  2. Give it a name

    Pick something descriptive. The slug is auto-generated from the name and used in API URLs.

  3. Click “Create”

    MassiCloud creates the project AND automatically sets up:

    • Two API keys (anon + service)
    • A “production” stage
    • A Postgres database named “main” in that stage, pre-configured with the auth schema

    Save both keys when shown — they’re only displayed once.

    • Anon key (mc_anon_...) — safe to ship in browser code
    • Service key (mc_service_...) — secret, server-side only

What’s a stage?

A stage is an isolated environment. MassiCloud creates a “production” stage by default. As you grow, you can add more — “staging” for testing, “development” for experiments.

Each stage has its own databases. Each stage’s URLs are separate:

/v1/{project-slug}/production/db/main/rest/{table}
/v1/{project-slug}/staging/db/main/rest/{table}

That means signing up a user against production doesn’t create that user in staging. They’re real environments, not just labels.

You’ll mostly work with the default “production” stage at first. Adding more is one click in the portal.
