# Resource Types

> Catalog of infrastructure and tooling you can add from Create—each type has its own page below.

Resources are created from **Create** on the architecture canvas. The catalog comes from your deployment’s **resource types** API (`resource_types` / subtypes). The console may **hide** a type if it is deactivated for your deployment or if your **workspace plan** is below the minimum tier required for that subtype.

**Cloud account:** Most types require a **linked cloud provider** on the project (AWS, Azure, GCP, or others your deployment supports). Behavior and labels vary by provider (for example AWS-specific wording in the Create menu).

**API subtype** strings are listed on each page; they match plan checks and REST APIs (see [API documentation](/api/index)).

## All resource types

### Compute

* [Server](/gateways/resources/server) — `instance`
* [Scalable server](/gateways/resources/scalable-server) — `scalable_server`
* **Runtime** (`runtime`) — [Overview](/gateways/resources/runtime), [Families & versions](/gateways/resources/runtime/families-and-versions), [Application servers](/gateways/resources/runtime/application-servers), [Canvas & connections](/gateways/resources/runtime/canvas-and-connections)

### Applications and data

* **Application** (`application`) — [Overview](/gateways/resources/application), [Sources](/gateways/resources/application/sources), [Upload & build](/gateways/resources/application/upload-and-build), [Git repos](/gateways/resources/application/git-repositories), [Docker image](/gateways/resources/application/docker-image), [Canvas & operations](/gateways/resources/application/canvas-and-operations)
* [Database](/gateways/resources/database) — `database` (engines and provider filters)
* [Utilities](/gateways/resources/utilities) — `terminal`, `bucket_explorer`, `ide`, `db_monitor`, `subdomain`, `utility`

### Networking and delivery

* [Firewall](/gateways/resources/firewall) — `firewall`
* [DNS](/gateways/resources/dns) — `dns`

Some deployments also define **`load_balancer`** or **`cdn`** subtypes in the catalog API, but those types are **not active** in the console today—they are omitted from this guide until they ship.

### Storage and hosting

* [Storage bucket](/gateways/resources/storage-bucket) — `storage_bucket`
* [Static website](/gateways/resources/static-website) — `static_website`

### Cache and serverless

* [Cache server](/gateways/resources/cache-server) — `cache_server`
* [Function](/gateways/resources/function) — `function`

### Canvas

* [Resource connections](/gateways/resources/connections) — `resource_connection`

## Plan and catalog behavior

* **Inactive types:** If a subtype is turned off in the catalog API, it **disappears** from Create.
* **Plan gating:** If your workspace plan is below `minPlanId` for a subtype, creation may be **blocked** with an upgrade hint.
* **Provider filtering:** Database and DNS submenus **change** based on linked cloud (for example GCP/Azure database list).
