Create a new project on sota.io. Each project automatically provisions: (1) a managed PostgreSQL 17 database accessible via the DATABASE_URL environment variable (auto-injected, no configuration needed), (2) PgBouncer connection pooling (pool size 20, max 100 clients), (3) automatic daily database backups with 7-day retention, (4) a live URL at https://{slug}.sota.io with automatic HTTPS via Let's Encrypt. The project slug is auto-generated from the name (lowercase, hyphens, max 63 chars) and is immutable after creation. Supported frameworks: Next.js, Node.js (Express/Fastify/Koa), Python (Flask/FastAPI/Django), or any language via custom Dockerfile. You can also add up to 5 custom domains per project with automatic HTTPS (via API: POST /v1/projects/:id/domains with {domain: "yourdomain.com"}). DNS: A record to 23.88.45.28 for apex domains, CNAME to {slug}.sota.io for subdomains.
Optionally associate the project with a public git repository at create-time by passing `git_url` (and optional `git_branch`). The association is informational — it shows up in the dashboard and the `sota deploy --git` CLI flag can default to it — but does NOT enable auto-deploy-on-push yet.
