Deploy your first Octavia service in minutes
This quickstart walks you through creating an account, activating a service (like AI CMS), and generating an API key. By the end, you’ll have a live workspace, a selected service/plan, and credentials to start building.
Prerequisites: You’ll need an Octavia account. If you don’t have one yet, create a free account .

Troubleshooting

Refresh the dashboard or re-open the team switcher. If the default team was renamed or removed, create a new one and select it before continuing.
Check your billing status if you chose a paid plan. If payment succeeded, refresh the dashboard; provisioning usually completes within seconds.
Ensure the x-api-key header is present on every request and that you’re using a valid, active key from the dashboard.
The limit is 50 req/s per IP. Implement client-side queuing and exponential backoff, or distribute requests across workers.
