app.unkey.com/<slug>/..., must be unique across Unkey, and can’t be changed later. It’s 3 to 64 characters of lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens, and can’t start or end with a hyphen. The dashboard derives a slug from the workspace name as you type and lets you edit it before creating.string

Open the creation page
Go to app.unkey.com/new. Signing in with a new account lands you here automatically.
Name the workspace
Enter a name between 3 and 50 characters. The name isn’t shown to your users, so choose one your team recognizes.
Confirm the slug
The dashboard fills in a slug derived from the name. Edit it if you want a shorter handle. If the slug is already taken, the form tells you and you pick another.

Create
Click Create workspace. The workspace starts on the free tier with the free limits and no Compute plan. You can deploy once you pick one under Plans.
