# Platform

> Gateways is a cloud operations console for designing infrastructure visually, connecting accounts, and shipping with your team—from architecture to activity in one place.

Gateways is a web-based platform for **modeling, connecting, and operating cloud infrastructure**. You work on a visual **architecture canvas**, organize work in **workspaces** and **projects**, and isolate stacks with **environments**. Link a cloud provider when you are ready to provision real resources—then monitor what changed in **Activity** and tune behavior in **Settings**.

Use the hosted console at **[console.gateways.app](https://console.gateways.app)**. Sign in at **[console.gateways.app/login](https://console.gateways.app/login)**. In the browser tab, the app may appear as *Gateways – Architecture Dashboard*.

## Designing on the canvas

Point Gateways at your cloud accounts and lay out infrastructure the way you think about it—not only as a list in a vendor console.

**Visual architecture**

* **Interactive canvas** — Resources appear as cards you move, zoom into, and connect.
* **Relationships** — Draw **connections** between resources to express dependencies and traffic paths.
* **Configuration** — Open a resource to set regions, sizing, runtimes, and type-specific options.

**Cloud linkage**

* Connect **AWS**, **Azure**, **GCP**, or other supported providers depending on your deployment.
* **Project-scoped** linking keeps credentials and usage aligned with how your team organizes systems.

## Workspace and delivery model

Software delivery extends beyond a single deployment. Gateways separates **who** owns work, **what** system you are building, and **where** it runs.

**Organization**

* **Workspaces** — Team boundary: members, invitations, and billing context.
* **Projects** — Deployable systems or products; each can link one cloud account for provisioning.
* **Environments** — Non-production and production slices (for example `staging`, `production`); resources and connections are **per environment**.

**Collaboration**

* **Invitations** — Join workspaces from the header when you are invited.
* **Roles** — What you can create, change, or delete depends on workspace and project permissions.

## Observability and project controls

**Activity** — Filterable audit-style events for the current environment (creates, updates, deletes, connections, and more).

**Project settings** — General project metadata, **usage** where exposed, **cloud provider** link/unlink, **environments**, **members**, and **danger** actions (for example project deletion) when permitted.

## Account and sessions

**Authentication** — Email, OAuth, or policies your administrator configures; optional **2FA** where enabled.

**Account settings** — Profile, **security**, **sessions**, **workspace** details, and **members** at the workspace level when you have access.

## APIs and automation

These guides focus on the **web console**. For HTTP APIs and automation:

* **[Gateways CLI](/gateways/cli)** — Install `gateways`, link `.gateways.yaml`, login, `push`, deploy, and SSH.
* **[API reference](/api-reference/introduction)** — Authentication conventions, API keys, and where to start.
* **[API documentation](/api/index)** — Full REST catalog (authentication, projects, resources, workspaces, payments, and more).
