​
Workspace

A Workspace represents your entire Bytebase installation and contains all users, projects, databases, and resources. Each Bytebase deployment is one workspace, making this concept largely transparent to users. For workspace separation, deploy multiple installations.

​
Project

A Project organizes related databases, users, and issues for team collaboration. Like projects in Jira or GitLab, it’s the main organizational unit where all work happens. Developers primarily work within projects.

​
Database Instance

A Database Instance represents a database server or cluster that you connect to via host and port. Examples include your MySQL server, PostgreSQL cluster, or AWS RDS instance. Instances can host multiple databases. Workspace admins and DBAs primarily manage database instances.

​
Database

A Database is an individual database within a database instance. Each database belongs to a single project. Project developers primarily work with databases.

​
Database Group

A Database Group contains multiple databases with similar schema structures, such as per-tenant or partitioned databases. Bytebase can apply batch changes consistently across all databases in a group.

​
Identity and Access Management (IAM)

See Users and Groups and Roles and Permissions.

​
Environment

An Environment represents a stage in your development pipeline, such as test, staging, or production. Environments typically map one-to-one with your actual deployment environments. Workspace admins can attach organizational policies to environments.
