Cloud Projects ​

Cloud Projects are individual instances of Directus, managed within a Team. Professional and Enterprise tier Projects are available, with each offering different options for infrastructure, configuration and professional services. A Cloud Project is a Directus Instance, the Infrastructure it runs on, and all of its data and file assets. All Cloud Projects include all Cloud Exclusives. See Support Options to find out how to get help on your Project.

There are two different Project tiers on Directus Cloud: Professional and Enterprise. A side-by-side comparison of what's included in each tier can be found on the Pricing page.

See the Overview to learn how Accounts, Teams and Projects interrelate.
