CARTO Workspace has been designed to be the start of the journey and the centralized experience for all things CARTO — And that includes our tools to make the development of large-scale geospatial custom applications as easy as possible.

To achieve this, the **Developers section** provides easy access to:

* **Credentials management:** Manage the authentication credentials for your different projects, from simple and static API Access Tokens to more dynamic OAuth Clients. [Learn more about Credentials](https://docs.carto.com/carto-user-manual/developers/managing-credentials).
* **API-enabled Workflows:** Get a quick overview of all the CARTO Workflows that you have enabled to be programmatically executed from an API endpoint. [Learn more about executing Workflows via API](https://docs.carto.com/carto-user-manual/workflows/executing-workflows-via-api).
* **Named Sources:** Avoid exposing SQL queries in your application while keeping a lightweight and efficient modern data architecture. [Learn more about Named Sources](https://docs.carto.com/carto-user-manual/developers/named-sources).
* **Documentation and resources:** Let us set you up for success — We've curated a set of links and examples so that you can learn how to build powerful, large-scale geospatial applications with CARTO that drive value for your organization.
