Your Starting Point

Projects are the foundation of Movestax. They act as logical containers where all your resources—apps, databases, and workflows—are grouped. Whether you’re deploying a frontend app, setting up a serverless database, or automating workflows, everything begins with a project.


1. Sign Up and Log In

  1. Visit the Movestax login page.
  2. Create your account using your email or existing OAuth methods (Google, GitHub, etc.).
  3. Once registered, log in to access your Movestax Dashboard.

2. What Are Projects in Movestax?

Projects ensure that your resources are organized and deployed efficiently. They provide:

  • Centralized Management: Group all your resources under one project for better control.
  • Region-Specific Deployments: Resources within a project are deployed to the same region, ensuring low latency and optimized performance.
  • Internal Communication: All resources within a project can communicate locally, offering better performance and security.

Supported Project Regions

  • Latin America (São Paulo)
  • United States (East)

We’re actively working on expanding our infrastructure and will be adding new regions soon. Stay tuned for updates!
