# Provider Store

> Browse, install, and manage providers from the Pragmatiks store

The Provider Store is the marketplace for Pragmatiks providers. Browse available providers, install them into your workspace, and start using their resource types immediately.

## How It Works

1. **Browse** providers in the store via the web UI or CLI
2. **Install** a provider into your workspace with a single command
3. **Use** the provider's resource types in your YAML configurations

When you install a provider, the platform deploys it into your workspace. All the resource types it exposes become available for you to create, update, and delete like any other Pragma resource.

## Key Concepts

### Trust Tiers

Every provider in the store has a trust tier indicating its verification level:

| Tier          | Description                                      |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **Official**  | Built and maintained by the Pragmatiks team      |
| **Verified**  | Third-party, reviewed and verified by Pragmatiks |
| **Community** | Published by any user in the community           |

Learn more in [Trust Tiers](/store/trust-tiers).

### Resource Tiers

When installing a provider, you choose a resource tier that controls the compute allocation for the provider's deployment:

| Tier            | Use Case                       |
| --------------- | ------------------------------ |
| **Free**        | Testing and development        |
| **Standard**    | Production workloads (default) |
| **Performance** | High-throughput production     |

Learn more in [Resource Tiers](/store/resource-tiers).

### Upgrade Policies

Control how provider updates are applied to your workspace:

| Policy     | Behavior                             |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------ |
| **Manual** | You decide when to upgrade (default) |
| **Auto**   | New versions deploy automatically    |

Learn more in [Upgrade Policies](/store/upgrade-policies).
