Introduction

What Mimic Cloud is and how its pieces fit together.

Mimic Cloud hosts Mimic, an open-source database for realtime documents. Each document is edited live by every client connected to it, checked against its collection's schema, and stored in object storage. Documents unload when nobody uses them, so an idle database costs only its storage.

How it is organized

• An organization holds your team, billing and projects.
• A project groups databases, for example an app's production and staging databases.
• A database holds collections; a collection holds documents of one schema.
