Dedicated Cloud

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 — what it is, when you need it, plans, and setup
• Building backend features with AI — the [estage-dedicated:] workflow
• Database — tables, rows, access rules, realtime, SQL
• Auth & user accounts — your site’s users, social logins, auth emails
• Storage — file buckets and uploads
• Functions & secrets — 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.
