Organizations are the basic container into which all , users, and data belong.

Organizations usually represent a company that is a customer or partner. Each organization has a separate pricing plan and is billed separately. This means that you can also monitor your operations and data consumption for each organization separately.

Each organization allows you to select the geographical location of the data center, where the organization's data will be stored and processed. Currently, supports two data center locations:

- United States (US)
- European Union (EU)
