# Create Project

Projects in Graphlit are isolated workspaces for your applications. Each project has its own data and storage.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Think of projects like databases:** Each application gets its own project. Building two apps? Create two projects.
{% endhint %}

#### Get Your API Credentials

Each project includes two environments: **Preview** (development) and **Production**.

**Environments are fully isolated:**

* Separate data and storage
* Independent credentials (Environment ID, JWT Secret)
* No resource sharing

**Billing:** Projects are billed together (not per environment). Payment methods are managed at the organization level.

**Copy your credentials:** Under **Connection Information**, you'll find:

* **Organization ID** (shared across all projects)
* **Environment ID** (Preview or Production)
* **JWT Secret** (authentication key)

Click the copy icon <img src="/files/DCFNWY0zP1DC93VOxuS4" alt="" data-size="line"> to copy each value.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Keep your JWT Secret secure:** Treat it like a password. Never commit it to git or share publicly.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Next Step

[**Get your API credentials →**](/account-setup-one-time/credentials.md) - Configure your development environment (1 minute)

{% hint style="success" %}
Once credentials are copied, run the [`hello.ts`](/account-setup-one-time/credentials.md#verify-your-setup) check to confirm everything works before the Quickstart tutorial.
{% endhint %}
