Billing, payments, domains, DNS, and network bridges
Organization-scoped features that touch money, names, and network plumbing.
Billing
Payment methods
- Add and manage cards or SEPA mandates (provider-dependent).
- Mark a primary payment method for automatic charges.
Invoices
- List and download invoices issued to the organization.
- Payment terms (anchor day, due days) live on the organization record.
Spending controls
- Organization and project levels may expose spending limits and warning thresholds with optional email notifications when crossed.
Agreements & pricing overrides
- Operators may attach billing agreements that adjust display prices for compute profiles (e.g. committed use discounts).
Cost summaries
- Where exposed, cost summary endpoints aggregate spend visibility for the organization (detail depends on billing integration).
Domains
Domains represent DNS domains Loopback tracks for your organization — used when creating DNS zones, workspace hostnames, or load balancer frontends.
Workflow is usually:
- Register or prove ownership of a domain (outside Loopback or via integration).
- Attach domain records in Loopback so delegation and automation can create records safely.
DNS records and DNS record zones
DNS record zones define allowed patterns (wildcards) for records created under a domain, optionally scoped to a project or workspace. This prevents one team from claiming another’s hostname namespace.
DNS records are individual A/AAAA/CNAME/… entries Loopback synchronizes to providers (e.g. Cloudflare) based on configuration.
User impact
- Workspace creation may allocate
*.k8s.<operator-domain>automatically. - Custom APIs may use zones you delegate for
*.api.example.com.
Network bridges
Network bridges link network segments (e.g. join workspace networks for hybrid scenarios). Behavior is operator-specific; use this when your architecture doc mentions bridged or peered Loopback networks.
