3. Click "Create project" (do not add services to the UI during this step, the flightcontrol.json you added will be used for service config)
5. After project is created, add your env vars under Environment Settings.
1. If using dbAuth, add the session secret key env variable in the Flightcontrol dashboard.
2. NOTE: The RedwoodJS Flightcontrol sets up an array of environments and defaults you to the 1st one: 'Development', add to the array to deploy more environments.
