Projects

A project represents a single application on SKE. It has a name, a runtime, and one or more environments where the application is deployed.

Creating a project

ske project:create --name my-app --runtime laravel

✓ Project "my-app" created in workspace "production"

Projects are created within the current workspace. The --runtime flag specifies the application framework — V1 supports laravel.

Project settings

Setting	Description
name	Display name

runtime	Application framework (laravel)
repository_url	Optional link to your git repository
description	Optional description

The ske.yml file

Each project has an ske.yml file in its repository root that maps the local codebase to the SKE project and defines per-environment configuration:

name: my-app
environments:
  production:
    region: us-east-1
  staging:
    region: eu-west-1
    memory: 512
    timeout: 30

Run ske init to create it interactively:

ske init

? Select a project: my-app
? Select an environment: production
✓ Created ske.yml

If ske.yml already exists, ske init prompts before overwriting and preserves existing configuration.
