The following section contains step-by-step instructions on how to easily get started with Timeplus Cloud.

Step 1: Sign up for a Timeplus account​

Step 2: Create your first workspace​

A workspace is the isolated storage and computing unit for you to run streaming data collection and analysis. Every user can create up to 1 free workspace and join many workspaces. Usually a group of users in the same organization join the same workspace, to build one or more streaming analytics solutions.

To create a workspace:

  1. Sign in to Timeplus Cloud
  2. Click Create a Workspace on the landing page
  3. The workspace ID is automatically created. Create a readable name, such as the legal name for the organization or team name.

Choose a workspace name

Step 3: Load Sample data​

If your streaming data resides in Confluent Cloud or publicly accessible Kafka or Pulsar, you can create sources in Timeplus to load them now. Otherwise you can follow one of the guides below to use sample data.
