The physical data, in turn, is stored in a dataset linked to the Project. ## What can I do in a Project Projects are the hub in which you access all the platform services as well as your data. The tasks that are necessary to build a data application into production are all automated, such as: - getting an entire team to work on the same environment, with different access rights to the data or the modules - building a logical database schema, without being linked to a specific database - automating the data collection, ETL-ing and visualization - monitoring the cloud infrastructure and its performances :::info In general, one Project can answer one or a range of specific use cases. You can use several Projects in order to work on different environments (staging, production...) for the same use case. ::: [ Learn more about how to export a Project configuration.](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/pt/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/tutorials-export-import-config.md) ## What services are included in a Project A Project is a flexible environment composed of multiple services, meaning you can add services in your Project as you wish. These services are separated into categories and only the _Admin tools_ services are mandatory for your project to run, all the others you may add according to your needs. ![What services are included in a Project — Project home](/images/public-cloud/data-platform/product/project/picts/project_home.png) - **Data Analytics**: collection, data warehousing and processing, and querying. - The [Connectors](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/pt/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/landing-page-connectors.md) - The [Lakehouse Manager](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/pt/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/landing-page-lakehouse-manager.md) - The [Data Processing Engine](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/pt/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/landing-page-dpe.md) - The [Analytics Manager](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/pt/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/landing-page-analytics-manager.md) - **Application Services** : API gateways and data visualization. - The [APIs](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/pt/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/landing-page-app-services-apis.md) - The [APPs](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/pt/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/landing-page-app-services-apps.md) - **Admin Tools**: resources management and access control. - The [Control Center](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/pt/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/landing-page-control-center.md) - The [Identity Access Manager](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/pt/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/landing-page-iam.md) [How to create a Project?](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/pt/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/manage-projects-create.md) ## How to allocate resources in a Project? Projects were designed from scratch to scale easily as the requirements of your data Project evolve. You can independently **scale horizontally and vertically** in any component of your choice in just a few clicks, for example in the [preferences](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/pt/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/dpe-jobs-resources.md) of a [Data Processing Engine workflow](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/pt/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/dpe-workflows.md). Deployed instances, such as [APIs](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/pt/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/landing-page-app-services-apis.md) and [applications](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/pt/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/landing-page-app-services-apps.md) can also be scaled independently. Each component in your Project will consume [resources](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/pt/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/manage-pricing.md) when it is actively running (either through a job or a deployment). :::info Even when it is idle, your Project uses a handful of DPUs by default. You can manage this amount in [Control Center](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/pt/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/landing-page-control-center.md). ::: [ Learn more about resource consumption](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/pt/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/manage-pricing.md) ## Go further If you need training or technical assistance to implement our solutions, contact your sales representative or click on [this link](https://www.ovhcloud.com/pt/professional-services/) to get a quote and ask our Professional Services experts for a custom analysis of your project.
