Create an Astra DB

1. On the home page. Locate the button Create Database

2. Define a database name, keyspace name and select a database region, then click create database.

3. Your Astra DB will be ready when the status will change from Pending to Active 💥💥💥

Create an Astra DB Keyspace

1. After your database is provisioned, we can create additional Keyspaces by clicking on the Add Keyspace button under the Keyspaces section on your Astra DB dashboard.

Create an Application Token

1. After your database is provisioned, we need to generate an Application Token for our App. Go to the Organization Settings link in the organization menu on the top left of the Dashboard screen.

2. Select Database Admin for the role for this Sample App and then generate the token. Download the CSV so that we can use the credentials we need later.

Get an Astra DB Secure Connect Bundle

1. After you have your Application Token, head to the database connect screen and select the driver connection that we need. Go ahead and download the Secure Bundle for the driver.

2. Make note of where to use the Client Id and Client Secret that is part of the Application Token that we generated earlier.

Get your Astra DB Connection Settings

1. Head to the database connect screen and copy the connection information that we'll need later. We'll replace ASTRA_DB_APPLICATION_TOKEN with the Token value that is part of your Application Token.
