# Workgroups and workspaces

Organize projects with workgroups, then attach compute with workspaces that connect to your graph database.

## Concepts and tasks

| [Workgroups](workgroups/workgroup) A container that holds the workspaces and databases for a team or use case. | [Workspaces and databases](workspaces/workspace) The compute unit attached to your graph data, and the database it connects to. |
| --- | --- |
| [Workspace settings](workspaces/settings) Customize and fine tune the configuration of an individual workspace. | [Read-write and read-only](workspaces/readwrite-readonly) See how read-write and read-only workspaces connect to a database. |
| [Workspace size](workspaces/workspace-size) Choose a size based on your data volume and performance requirements. | [Expand or shrink](workspaces/expansion-shrink) Adjust the capacity of a workspace as your data grows or changes. |
| [Backup and restore](workgroups/backup-and-restore) Create backup points and restore a workspace to a specific point in time. | [Connect via APIs](workspaces/connect-via-api) Reach your graph database over REST from your own code. |
| [Monitor workspaces](workgroups/monitor-workspaces) Track the status and resource usage of your workspaces. | [Workspace logs](workgroups/workspace-logs) Enable and read logs to identify and resolve issues quickly. |

## Common tasks

* [Create a workgroup](workgroups/how2-create-a-workgroup)
* [Manage workgroup access](workgroups/how2-workgroup-access)
* [Create a workspace](workspaces/how2-create-a-workspace)

## Where to go next

* [Build](../graph-development/) covers schemas, loading data, writing GSQL, and exploring graph results.
* [Load data](../graph-development/load-data/) when you are ready to ingest into a workspace.
