# Using FlowForge
This guide will help you learn how to use the FlowForge platform to quickly create new Node-RED projects.
# Concepts
Within FlowForge, each Node-RED instance is called a Project. The Project is owned by a Team that provides all the necessary access control.
The Project is created from a Template that provides its default settings and runs on a Stack that determines the Node-RED version, memory, and CPU usage.
For more details on these and other core concepts, you can learn about them here.
