# Console (/docs/console)

Learn how to use the Console to manage and integrate Prisma products into your application.

Location: Console

## Overview

The [Console](https://console.prisma.io/login?utm_source=docs\&utm_medium=content\&utm_content=console) enables you to manage and configure your projects that use Prisma products, and helps you integrate them into your application:

- [Query Insights](/guides/manage-query-insights): Inspect slow queries, connect Prisma calls to SQL, and apply focused fixes.
- [Prisma Postgres](/guides/introduction-2-postgres): A managed PostgreSQL database that is optimized for Prisma ORM.
- [Prisma Compute](/guides/deploy-compute): Runs your app next to your Prisma Postgres database. Inspect projects, branches, apps, and deployments in the Console; deploy with the [Prisma CLI](/guides/introduction-5-compute-getting-started).

## Getting started

To start using Prisma products, you'll need to:

1. Create a Console account
2. Set up a workspace for your team
3. Create a project for your application
4. Generate connection strings for your resources

Learn more in the [Getting Started](/guides/introduction-5-console-getting-started) guide.

## Core concepts

The Console is organized around four main concepts:

- **[User account](/guides/introduction-5-console-concepts#user-account)**: Your personal account to manage workspaces and projects
- **[Workspaces](/guides/introduction-5-console-concepts#workspace)**: Team-level container where billing is managed
- **[Projects](/guides/introduction-5-console-concepts#project)**: Application-level container within a workspace
- **[Resources](/guides/introduction-5-console-concepts#resources)**: Actual services or databases within a project (databases for Prisma Postgres)

## Console CLI

In addition to the web interface, the Prisma CLI provides another way to interact with your Console account and manage Prisma products. This can be useful for programmatic access, such as integrating into CI workflows.
