Create a project#

In the Aiven web console, follow these steps to create a new project:

  1. Click on Project drop down and click on Create new project.

  2. Give the new project a name.

  3. Select an Account to add the project to.

  4. In Payment method select a project to copy the billing details from, or select Use a new credit card.

When you create a new project, you will need to enable billing for creating new services.

Note

You can create a project using the Aiven CLI as well.

Rename a project#

Renaming a project is possible only when all the services in the project are powered-off. To rename a project in the Aiven web console:

  1. Select the project from the Project drop down.

  2. Click on Settings.

  3. Type in the new project name in the Project Name field.

  4. Click on Save changes.

Important

  • Except for Aiven for Apache Kafka®, all service types have backups which are restored once you power them back on.

  • Renaming the project will invalidate all of the project’s pending invitations.

  • The project name in your existing DNS records will not be updated.

Note

You can rename a project using the Aiven CLI as well.
