Verify the account
Complete email verification before creating a live workspace key.
Secure API onboarding
Start with one workspace, one key, and one approved upstream
A small first integration is easier to review, test, revoke, and support. ThrottleProxy’s current onboarding path keeps provider credentials separate and clearly labels setup templates and customer timelines as previews.
Narrow first scopeVerified accountActivation review
Practical boundaries
A production-minded onboarding sequence
Confirm workspace roles
Assign the smallest role needed and keep Owner, Admin, Developer, Billing, and Viewer responsibilities explicit.
Create one key
Treat the displayed value as a one-time credential, store it safely, and plan its revocation path.
Approve one host
Add the narrowest exact public hostname needed; avoid URL paths, public suffixes, private targets, and broad wildcards.
Prepare safe provider auth
Do not paste provider secrets into the setup preview or send the ThrottleProxy key upstream.
Test with bounded evidence
Use non-sensitive traffic and record only safe status, timing, lifecycle stage, and correlation context.
Review launch operations
Confirm support, manual plan activation, migration readiness, smoke checks, monitoring, and rollback ownership.
Good fit
- A first public API integration with a known hostname and owner.
- Teams adopting the product through a reviewed activation path.
- Workspaces that want explicit roles, destinations, and support boundaries.
Not a replacement for
- Automatic provider credential storage or live provider testing—the current wizard is a preview.
- An arbitrary URL forwarding workflow.
- A Growth or Scale checkout path without changing technical setup controls.
Common questions
Does the setup wizard save provider credentials?
No. It is a guided configuration preview and explicitly warns against entering upstream secrets.
Can invitation links be emailed automatically?
Not in the current production posture. Use the one-time manual handoff flow through a recipient-specific secure channel.
How are paid plans activated?
Published pricing is available, while plan activation requires review and does not automatically charge or change a subscription.
Start with one narrow integration
Use one workspace key, one exact public host, and non-sensitive test traffic.
