This page gives you a quick overview of the NextEpoch Cloud portal — what you'll see when you log in and where to find things.
The Home Page
After logging in, you land on the home page. It includes:
- Service shortcuts — Quick links to register an app, open Insights, manage credentials, view your team, and access settings

The Sidebar
The sidebar is your primary navigation. It has two groups:
Top section:
- Home — Dashboard with overview and quick links
- Apps — Application catalog and deployments
- Storage — Provision databases and object storage
Bottom section:
- Insights — Observability hub (logs, traces, metrics, audit, and more)

Click the collapse button to minimize the sidebar and gain more screen space.
