# PeerDB Cloud Quickstart Guide

> Get started with PeerDB Cloud in a few simple steps.

### PeerDB Cloud

PeerDB Cloud is a fully managed service that allows you to replicate data across different data stores. It is designed to be easy to use and requires no infrastructure management. You can get started with PeerDB Cloud in a few simple steps.

Let's head over to [https://app.peerdb.cloud](https://app.peerdb.cloud) to get started.

### Sign Up

Upon landing on [PeerDB Cloud](https://app.peerdb.cloud), we will be greeted with the login page.

Since we're new, let's click on **Sign Up**. This takes us to the sign-up page. Let's fill in the details and click on **Sign Up**.

Enter the name of your organisation in the next page:

### Creating an instance

We will be taken to the PeerDB Cloud Dashboard. We can now create a PeerDB instance. Let's click on **Create Instance** to get started.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/peerdb/MRN5BST_xrBv7brJ/images/cloud-quickstart/dashboard.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=MRN5BST_xrBv7brJ&q=85&s=8dd4e6f9ba1ee3a6ed5909788d3ed2d2" alt="dashboard" width="3452" height="1980" data-path="images/cloud-quickstart/dashboard.png" />

This takes us to the **New Instance** page. Let's briefly talk about the form:

* **Name**: The name of the instance. This can be to your liking.
* **Password**: The password for the instance. This is used to connect to the instance, so make sure to note it down. For this quickstart, let's assume the password to be `quickstart`.
* **Version**: The version of PeerDB to use. For this quickstart, let's select the provided version in the dropdown.

The **PeerDB Micro** instance is default and is sufficient for this quickstart. Let's click on **Continue**.

This takes us to the **Confirm** page. Let's click on **Create Instance** to create the instance.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/peerdb/MRN5BST_xrBv7brJ/images/cloud-quickstart/confirm.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=MRN5BST_xrBv7brJ&q=85&s=cc74a2340d820fbf2fc82ae66bfcb6d0" alt="confirm" width="3426" height="1980" data-path="images/cloud-quickstart/confirm.png" />

That's it! We should now be able to see our instance in the dashboard.

The instance will take a minute to get ready. We should then, upon a page refresh, see the running instance:

Let's click on **PeerDB UI** to head over to PeerDB UI

### PeerDB UI

We will be directed to the PeerDB UI login page. The password for this instance is the one we set during the instance creation.
In our case, that is `quickstart`.
Let's fill in the password and click on **Sign in with Password**.
