The **Dedicated Cloud** tab in Project Settings is where you provision and manage your
project's own backend — database, user accounts, realtime, file storage, and server
functions.

This is a big enough feature that it has its own documentation section:

- [Dedicated Cloud overview](/cloud/) — what it is, when you need it, plans, and setup
- [Building backend features with AI](/cloud/building-with-ai/) — just describe the backend
  feature you want and the AI builds it
- [Database](/cloud/database/) — tables, rows, access rules, realtime, SQL
- [Auth & user accounts](/cloud/auth/) — your site's users, social logins, auth emails
- [Storage](/cloud/storage/) — file buckets and uploads
- [Functions & secrets](/cloud/functions/) — server-side code and API keys

:::note
You don't need a Dedicated Cloud for a normal site — only for features that store data, sign
users in, or run server logic. If you're unsure, just ask the AI for the feature you want;
it will offer to provision a cloud when one is needed.
