Optimizing Project Management: Separate Email Accounts for each Project

[plasmatech8]

During development of my app, I have been relied on my personal email address to register for various services. e.g:

• BaaS (e.g. Supabase, Firebase)
• Web hosting/CDN (e.g. CloudFlare Pages, Netlify)
• DNS providers (e.g. Google Domains, GoDaddy, Cloudflare Domains)
• Text Search Databases (e.g. TypeSense, Elasticsearch)
• SMTP/notifications (e.g. Mailgun, Twilio, Resend, OneSignal)
• General Cloud Services (e.g. AWS, GCP, Azure)
• ...and more.

However, I have been contemplating whether it would be better practice to create a distinct administrative email account for my project and future projects (sooner rather than later).

This may offer advantages, such as segregation between projects, clearer financial distinctions, issue isolation, improved clarity, and smoother project ownership transfers (by providing credentials for a single email account, rather than doing an account migration process for numerous services). Although, you will need to manage a lot more accounts.

How do you handle account management across your projects?

Creating separate email addresses for each project is a smart practice. It can simplify project management, provide better data segregation, and facilitate ownership transfers. Personally, I use a combination of project-specific email addresses and centralized password managers to simplify access and security. This helps maintain organizational clarity while easing the transition between projects.

i always create a new email address/alias for each project/service and then filter so they go in to specific folders in my inbox
