Databases, auth, and Team provider keys
Plan advanced app features before asking for production behavior.
Databases, authentication, and direct AI provider billing are advanced features. They can be valuable, but they require explicit decisions about data, permissions, hosting, and operational ownership.
How to use this
- 1Describe the data that must be stored and who can access it.
- 2Decide whether login is required in the first version.
- 3Use Team provider-key setup when your organization wants direct AI billing.
- 4Review privacy, backups, and support ownership before launch.
Keep in mind
- A static first version does not need a database.
- Authentication flows require careful testing.
- Provider keys should be controlled by the organization that pays the bill.
