Organizations

HarperDB Studio organizations provide the ability to group HarperDB Cloud Instances. Organization behavior is as follows:

  • Billing occurs at the organization level to a single credit card.

  • Organizations retain their own unique HarperDB Cloud subdomain.

  • Cloud instances reside within an organization.

  • Studio users can be invited to organizations to share instances.

An organization is automatically created for you when you sign up for HarperDB Studio. If you only have one organization, the Studio will automatically bring you to your organization’s page.
