📋 How to

• 03. Create a Database
• 04. Setup Project
• 05. Run the project

✅ 1 - Create your DataStax Astra account

ℹ️ Account creation tutorial is available in awesome astra

✅ 2 - Create an Astra Token

ℹ️ Token creation tutorial is available in awesome astra

• Locate Settings (#1) in the menu on the left, thenToken Management` (#2)

• Select the role Organization Administrator before clicking [Generate Token]

The Token is in fact three separate strings: a Client ID, a Client Secret and the token proper. You will need some of these strings to access the database, depending on the type of access you plan. Although the Client ID, strictly speaking, is not a secret, you should regard this whole object as a secret and make sure not to share it inadvertently (e.g. committing it to a Git repository) as it grants access to your databases.

{
  "ClientId": "ROkiiDZdvPOvHRSgoZtyAapp",
  "ClientSecret": "fakedfaked",
  "Token":"AstraCS:fake"
}

✅ 3 - Create a Database

If you are creating a new account, you will be brought to the DB-creation form directly.

Otherwise, get to the databases dashboard (by clicking on Databases in the left-hand navigation bar, expanding it if necessary), and click the [Create Database] button on the right.

Take a moment to fill the form:

• ℹ️ Fields Description

Field	Description
Vector Database vs Serverless Database	PICK VECTOR In june 2023, Cassandra introduced the support of vector search to enable Generative AI use cases. You might consume your credit faster with a vector database.
database name	It does not need to be unique, is not used to initialize a connection, and is only a label (keep it between 2 and 50 characters). It is recommended to have a database for each of your applications. The free tier is limited to 5 databases.
keyspace	No requirement
Cloud Provider	Choose whatever you like. Click a cloud provider logo, pick an Area in the list and finally pick a region. We recommend choosing a region that is closest to you to reduce latency. In free tier, there is very little difference.
