Create SaaS Warehouse
The SaaS warehouse is completely provided by the VeloDB Cloud with resources and services. Users do not need to pay attention to the underlying infrastructure and can use it out of the box.
If the current organization does not have a warehouse, a guidance page will appear. Please follow the prompts to create the first warehouse.
A wizard page will be displayed if the organization does not have a warehouse. You can create the first warehouse following the prompts.
You can choose to Start Trial (SaaS) for a free trial or New Warehouse for a production environment.
- Each organization gets a 7-day free trial for SaaS. The trial warehouse is only applicable to the feature experience in the small-scale data volume scenario. In the trial warehouse, you cannot create new clusters, scale the trial cluster, etc. After upgrading it to the paid warehouse, you can use all the features.
- If you choose to start a new paid warehouse directly, that means you have given up the free trial opportunity for the current organization and you may not create a trial warehouse in the future. The fee will be incurred when a new warehouse is started. Paid warehouses are suitable for production environments with complex workload requirements.
