Managing Workspaces

Organize your databases and collaborate with team members using workspaces.

What is a Workspace?​

A Workspace is your top-level organizational unit and multi-tenant container. It serves as a security boundary for all resources. Everything you create in Lordbase belongs to a specific workspace.

A workspace contains:

  • Databases: PostgreSQL, Redis, and MongoDB instances.
  • Backups: Manual and scheduled backup configurations.
  • Team Members: Developers invited to collaborate on this workspace.
  • Audit Logs: Activity history for all workspace resources.
