Project identifier rules

The identifier given to a project in Serverpod Cloud must adhere to these rules:

  • Globally unique
  • Between 6 and 32 characters long
  • Contain only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens

When creating a new project (see also the serverpod cloud launch or serverpod cloud project commands) you will get an error message if the name is not valid.
