To start using $CLOUD_LONG for your data:
- Create a $COMPANY account: register to get access to $CONSOLE as a centralized point to administer and interact with your data.
- Create a $SERVICE_LONG: that is, a $PG database instance, powered by $TIMESCALE_DB, built for production, and extended with cloud features like transparent data tiering to object storage.
- Connect to your $SERVICE_LONG: to run queries, add and migrate your data from other sources.
Now that you have an active $CLOUD_LONG account, you create and manage your $SERVICE_SHORTs in $CONSOLE. When you create a $SERVICE_SHORT, you effectively create a blank $PG database with additional $CLOUD_LONG features available under your $PRICING_PLAN. You then add or migrate your data into this database.
