Create a SaaS Warehouse
A SaaS warehouse is fully managed by VeloDB Cloud. You do not manage the underlying infrastructure and can start using it right away.
For the regions where you can deploy a SaaS warehouse, see Supported Regions.
Create a SaaS warehouse
To create a SaaS warehouse, do the following:
- Log in to the VeloDB Cloud console. If your organization has no warehouse yet, a guided page walks you through your first one.
- In the upper-left corner, click the organization name to open the Organization Overview page.
- Click Create New Warehouse. Alternatively, you can click All Warehouses in the upper-left corner and then click Create New Warehouse.
- Select SaaS, then click Continue.
- Configure the following fields, and then click Create.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Warehouse Name | Required. Up to 32 characters, unique within the organization: letters, numbers, underscores (_), and hyphens (-). |
| Cloud Platform | Select the cloud platform for the warehouse. VeloDB Cloud supports AWS and Azure, with Google Cloud coming soon. |
| Region | Select the region where the warehouse runs. To reduce latency, choose the same region as your application or client. If your region is not listed, contact support to request it. |
| Core Version | Select the VeloDB Core version. Version 2.0 and later separate storage and compute, and storage is billed by actual usage with nothing to pre-provision. |
| Admin Password | Required. The password for the warehouse's default admin user. |
Advanced settings
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) | Available on AWS only. When enabled, the warehouse encrypts data as it is written to storage and decrypts it on read. This setting cannot be changed after the warehouse is created. After creation, you can rotate the KMS key to a customer-managed key under the warehouse settings. |
| Table Name Case Sensitivity | Choose whether table names are case-sensitive. You cannot change this setting after creating the warehouse. |
Initial cluster configuration
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Availability Zone | Select the availability zone for the initial cluster. The warehouse itself is multi-zone by default. Choose the same availability zone as your application or client to reduce latency. VeloDB Cloud adds availability zones as needed. |
| Compute | The initial cluster's compute size. The default is 4 vCPU, and the range is 4 to 1024 vCPU per cluster at a fixed 1:8 vCPU-to-memory ratio. To request a higher quota, contact support. |
| Cache | The cache size range scales with the compute size. |
| Auto-suspend | The cluster automatically suspends after a period of inactivity to save cost. The default is 30 minutes. |
After you click Create, the new warehouse appears in the warehouse selector. Provisioning typically takes about 3 minutes, and the status changes from Creating to Running when it finishes.
Note:
A warehouse's Meta Service isolation level is fixed at creation and you cannot change it later. A single-tenant Meta Service (either reserved for your organization or dedicated to a single critical warehouse) currently requires you to contact VeloDB Cloud Support before creating the warehouse. See Choose Plans for the isolation levels.
