Build directly on Namespace for your own workloads, or build a platform that runs workloads for your customers, each in their own isolated tenant.

Build a platform

Give each customer a tenant, and act inside it on their behalf.

Run workloads

Create your first instance with your nsc login.
The same call works in both cases. Only the credential behind computeClient changes: your nsc login while you develop, or a tenant token when your platform acts for a customer. See the Instances quickstart for the full call, including authentication and waiting for the instance to become ready.

Authenticate

Every call authenticates with a credential that decides where it acts. While you develop, your nsc login acts in your own workspace. A platform uses partner credentials to manage its tenants, and tenant tokens to act inside each one.

Build on your own workspace

Start with your nsc login, no partner account needed.

Partner credentials

Authenticate as your platform to manage tenants.

Tenant tokens

Act inside a customer’s tenant.

Building blocks

Pick the infrastructure that fits your stack.

Compute

Linux and macOS machines, shapes, resource limits, and observability.

Networking

Ingress, access controls, egress policy, and performance.

Storage

Cache volumes, the container registry, artifacts, and secrets.
